inVent: I had to pick between a music scholarship and a steady job offer.
Gotta push back on the idea that creative work isn't seen as real work. The real issue is that those jobs are often super unstable and don't pay the bills at all. Taking the safe job isn't about believing your art is just a hobby, it's about knowing you need rent money. The system makes it nearly impossible to choose the risky creative path unless you have a big safety net. It's less about what we're taught and more about the raw math of surviving.

Yeah, for creaky stairs I'd check if the treads are loose and maybe add some screws.

inHad to choose between a 1/4 inch end mill and a 3/8 inch for a weird pocket. Went with the 1/4. Bad call.
Actually a dado blade is for the table saw. Routers can do dados too though. Sounds like you just needed a bigger bit or a different setup.
