Larry - I agree.  If I was new to this business I'd be making a new career choice.   I lost a few clients this year because of my covid restrictions.  No big deal - good bye to them if they can't wear a mask.  However, I can't get clients to understand the backlog I'm experiencing this year.  They are frustrated and probably won't be back next year.

EDIT:   30+years    stopped taking new clients 2 years ago  -   looking forward to retirement
