<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 38437, member: 57463&quot;]My daughter, now 25 and married,&nbsp; is not a collector of anything.&nbsp; In fact, her favorite household appliance is the wastebasket.&nbsp; She is a very neat and controlled (dare I say controlling?) person.&nbsp; Hanging on to old coins is not for her.&nbsp; However, she is a saver.&nbsp; She has all of the coins, etc., that I bought for her over the years because she values them as savings.&nbsp; She is pretty good with money, work, credit cards, etc., very sensible.&nbsp; Some of that came from her experience in numismatics as a youngster.&nbsp; She worked half a dozen MSNS conventions as a YN page.&nbsp; She learned the art and science of waitressing there, basically.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>She also clerked in a coin store.&nbsp; A few months ago, I asked her about her experiences then, what she learned from numismatics, basically, either at the shows or at the store.&nbsp; She said:</p><p>&nbsp; 1. Be on time.</p><p>&nbsp; 2. You do not make money sitting around.</p><p>&nbsp; 3. You do not need a college education to get rich but you do need some kind of specialized knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
