That's more or less what it means.
Talk about off topic eh? 
Also the sad part about diamond setting is that after 40 or 50, no one really wants you. Your eyes wear down and the accuracy of the hand isn't the same. Its quite ironic to see younger setters making more money then the older ones. |
In that case he does outside work, I know the local jeweler I use sends out to his shop in order to set stones, change stones, make repairs, etc.
And the age makes no sense to me. The industry average on diamond setters is ~30k annually, which is a reasonable wage, but I dont see anyone making quadruple that short of black market and illegal activities. There isnt a 100k premium for being young with little experience...
