    so i had somewhat of an interview for a position at the local camera shop today... i'm always in there dreaming 'bout the gear i'd buy if i had the money, maybe now i'll be able to sell it to other people!

    Good luck, Drew!

    My senior year in high school and the first year or so of college I worked in our local camera shop. Of course, that was back in the days of film! Really a major learning experience. I hope you get the job! Just don't spend all your paychecks on gear right away!:wink:

    Congratulations to you, too... I just got my first photography related job, but it's not selling gear, I'm assisting a local photographer... both sound like fun, as long as it's being around photography related things... at least I won't have to push Canon gear :biggrin:

    Good luck Drew - I was just reading your "for sale" deliberations posts and thinking somebody in Duluth ought to give that guy a good-paying job!

    thanks guys... i'm pretty excited about this job, however, i'm going to be selling a lot of p/s cameras and i need to freshen up on my p/s knowledge... i've been reading too much bout dslr's...
    the d40x they have there looks pretty nice! too bad its so small tho...
