LOL, how much of that goes to the guy with dirty nails:) ?? ======= It depends. Some guys take it all but pay for there own shop, truck and benefits. Some guys get 25%. Even at 25% it's a halfway decent living, and the smart, motivated guys save up and plan for going on their own. "Mikey" here only works on late model Yamahas and he knows how to say no if it is a basket case but he is still booked weeks in advance. He works out of a small SUV without a whole lot of overhead. He does have a lot of money tied up in tools. That is one reason he only picked a small range of motors to work on, just to keep the special tool inventory reasonable. There are plenty of late model Yamahas around. He really needs a manager tho. I bet he could charge more and I am sure he could use some time management skills. That is true of most small businesses tho. Sure... here you go.. http://www.inc.com/ss/best-industrie...ing-a-business Read up... http://www.entrepreneur.com/starting...ies/index.html |

You might start seeing "4 year" degrees in 2 or 3 years from those people. The university system would never put up with it because there is a lot of money in it for them to make college as slow as they can. You pay by the hour not by the degree I get it! More guns. That's the motivation. Give me a ****ing break. You clearly don't give a **** about anyone else's life experience. What about getting shot at in the inner city? I guess that doesn't count. I spent a lot more time in the inner city than you and I have been shot at twice. That is not what we were talking about tho is it? How many of those inner city kids have the grades to get in college in the first place? Graduation rates are in the mid 30% and most of them barely read at the 8th grade level. If you do find a kid who can make it to college, I salute them. They will have the desire to succeed and they have a very good chance of actually getting something out of it. Salute their parents, probably not on welfare, also. Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' last resort. |

Moronic point dip****. ==== There once were a lot of opportunities for people who could hunt sabre tooth tigers with a spear. Should they have been guaranteed a job for life, retrained as basket weavers or just given welfare checks? When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Exactly, a lot of people learned how to use a slide rule! When my oldest brother was in college, he was there at just the right time so that he first had a slide rule, then a T.I. calculator that could add, subtract, multiply, divide and GASP! do square roots! The problem is that kind of technology hits your typical "college graduate" job the hardest. If there wasn't a very strong engineer's union, most of those jobs would be replaced by a $100 CAD program. You are really just paying for the "stamp" anyway. Horse****. What "engineer's union" are you talking about? What "$100 CAD program" can analyze and economize a structure? How does this $100 CAD program analyze case by case seismic design? How does it analyze concrete floor loading and design? How does it analyze dynamic loads from equipment and or rack storage? How does it analyze site specific soil properties? In short, please show me this program, I'd love to have it, I'll be a millionaire in a week!! Nope, you're certainly not kevin:) Anyway, the program might not be 100 bucks, but if that program costs 10 grand and it could make you a millionaire in a week, what are you waiting for? I'm waiting for you to tell me just what program that is....... |

I'm pretty sure you cannot "end up being a professor" in the traditional sense of that word without a Ph.D. A Master's degree, while a significant achievement, is not the academic qualifier required for being a professor. |
