Wish I started printing seriously by that age, you have the potential to become great early in life!

Thanks, I hope so! lol If I can fully retire in my 40's that would be ideal.

It's not that unrealistic if you make the right moves.
I personally hope by my late 40's or early 50's I will be around, but mostly just to collect money from my shop. LOL

Sent from samsung gem(the worst smart phone ever)

52, I dress like I'm still in the seventh grade (t shirt, shorts and slaps), drink like I'm in college and wake up feeling like my Dad.
Once I get sliced for the bone spur in my hand and get a new set of glasses I'll be good for at least a year?
-
61. . . It ain't pretty.

31-35 seems to be the middle finger of chart 8)

...Forty-one, in real time. From the neck up, maybe thirteen. From the neck down, equivalent to eighty-something.

I am 54 but the last squeegee I pulled was in my 20s.....Did not take me long to figure out all the money was in selling, not in production....

Ya know I think a lot of us are in the printing business to create, or tinker, or play...if I were just selling all day, calls, pushing paper or whatever selling all day means, I think I would find something else to satisfy my love of being part of a creative process.
-
Just turned the big 50. started printing when I was 37
-
Turned 40 this year
Pulled my first squeegee when I was 14, sold my first shirt when I was 15.

So long as you do not think you are in it for the money!....

Just turned 51. Been pulling a squeegee for 4yrs (yes, I started late in life). Had a large order before Christmas and decided to try this new fangled way of printing, I pushed the squeegee. Worked nice. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

41.
Someone ( who was wise, it seems ) told me to stay away from screenprinting when I was about 16.
I listened, for awhile. Been doing this since I was 30.
Art, well.. If getting paid for what you do on a regular basis makes you a professional :P, that's been going on since I was about 20.
Come to think of it... I did my first 'paying gig' shirt design when I was about 16.
My lineart didn't suck, but what they did with the rubylith ( or amber or whatever ) wasn't all that.
I think I may still have that shirt in a box someplace..
Maybe it was motivation?
-
I will be 55 in Feb. Been printing since I was 32,but have seen screen printing since I was about 5.
Happy New Years everyone!

Presumptuous on your part. Since you're not in production how would you know there is "no" money in it?
-
33 here started printing at 26
-
I'm in it for the money , it just happens that I love what I do, I started selling then found money in production especially after first auto, I'm 33 been doing it for 4 years now.
-
39 been playing in the industry since 93. @DTD we know how you think LOL

33, I started when I was 26 and still working a government job. It's been 3 1/2 years since I went full time.

Not sure.
Psychologically 6 (I get along real well with little kids)
Emotionally 16 (you know how up and down teenagers are)
Physically about 40 (I can still outwork most of them)
Chronically (I've heard all my life that the Gregorian calendar is wrong. If so, then who can tell)
Looking forward to my 81st New Year party tonight (with my wife)
-

Looks like the people between 41 and 50 come to their senses and get out of the business.
