[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 506885, member: 9031"] As I read this thread I think what an unlucky guy this Jrich dude is. I can't see emojeez on my phone. Lol The job market is a funny creature. I have only been in the car business where we make full commission. So your pay is always dependent on how much work you complete, how well you complete it in an X amount of time. So if you're lazy or incapable, you ain't makin money. Years ago when I was fresh in the biz I put together some numbers to see how much my company was making off me versus what I was making. They made about 70% of what I billed. At the time it pissed me off. Thought I could do much better on my own. So I took that chance and built a clientele. Had my own shop for only just under 2 years. Enjoyed it I spose but learned what it takes to pay taxes, to do the job of 3 people by myself. What it takes to keep paperwork current, what it takes to purchase new equipment, how tough it is to think about hiring employees and what it takes to buy or build a shop in a great location etc. In the end I learned that I would give up some of my gross pay in trade for being a W2 employee. Also to be thankful that I have an excellent job that allows me to almost set my own schedule and spend much more time with my family. Could I make 500k a year? Absolutely!! Then I would have to trade my wife, my kiddos and all my stability. No thanks Really I mean to say if you wanna make more money, it falls from the sky in this country. Quit bitchin and work for it.
