R L S 14 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I make more than enough for myself. I have no help. Just me doing all phases of the business. I work six days a week and an ocassional Sunday. As far as how much, well, I can always make more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 111 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Ryan, I'd try to establish some commercial montly repeat accounts before you make the step. Just a suggestion. The referrals should fill in the blanks. I personally was doing around 5 in repeat before I jumped. It's quite possible to make four times that with one rig and a helper.... only on a very good month.

PressurePros 249 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I have heard some contractors have netted almost 45k since March. It's probably a rumor though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Celeste 341 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 We have one in college, three still at home, large mortgages and so far no one looks like they're starving :) (Then again, don't ask me this in January!) Consider what bennies you may be losing if you leave your real job - THAT can get scary. How strong is your commitment to being self-employed? Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
