The value of time.

[millarso]

I cannot comment as much in an equipment sense, but on the training (whether self-trained or professional) and the learning that needs to be done. I plan to do a healthy amount of composition when i get a little older (especially when I'm real old cuz what else am I going to do) but higher education in music costs money. A lot for me.

I'm an engineer too, and I would expect similar payment for a professional music job as I would for an engineering contract (maybe a little extreme based off of how grueling engineering was for me).
