[QUOTE="clembo, post: 458146, member: 8033"]I suppose it depends on how big the shop is and IF the dealer is looking for someone. I made better money doing the painting and drywalling but that pretty much died. I make enough at the shop to get by and still buy an occasional coin. One has to remember though that my boss approached ME not the other way around. He needed help and has known me for years. I needed work and he offered me enough money THIS time. Wasn't the first time he talked about bringing me on. As has been pointed out training an intern takes time and a watchful eye. My boss wasn't so worried about me stealing. I've pulled enough good coins out of old boxes, etc. in the past that he didn't even know he had. I'm still learning the jewelry angle as we do buy it (mainly for the metals). I'm also spending a lot of time looking up world coins and paper money these days. We do have people ask occasionally if we're hiring and NOT people we know. Well, that won't happen as it would require WAY too much supervision. Stepping behind the counter is kind of an honor actually. It's one thing to have a rare coin shown to you. It's another to have full access to them. So long answer made short. I can't answer it.;)[/QUOTE]
