Need advice

[1ViciousGSX]

And for reference I only have a high school Degree.

"60-150K a year" with no diploma, TAKE THE JOB!!!

[A//// Guy]

Yea thats a definate. Without any college degree, unless your into something special jobwise or experience-wise 30-40k is pretty high up there.

[SlowWhite]

that's another reason why I've been hesitant about just up and leaving right now. Once that 2-4 years is up. I'm not sure what'll happen. 2-4 years of being away from what I'm doing is a long time. I won't be as Marketable as I am now...

[Kracka]

Sure you will, you will have more experience under your belt in a variety of jobs. Just make sure the figures from FL are legit.

[Raptor]

If your good at something, you are always marketable. Trust me on that.

Have you been applying to any jobs locally? If you like living here, then at least start applying, going to interviews and see what you get for offers. At that point you can compare your short term future here and there...

[SlowWhite]

I haven't been doing anything here locally. I've basically been looking for stuff down south where it's warm year round.

the figures my friend is giving me are correct... I met him back in 1998 when we had the big ass hail storm. In 4 months of working 10hrs a week he cleared 40K... How do I know? Cause I helped him Spend it. Brand new Z71 Pick-up 6" Lift 36" Tires, Chrome Foot Rails. We then put in 4x15" JL Subs 2x1000watt PPI Amps, Pioneer Deck, and 12disc CD Changer. He was 17 at the time. His Father cleared just over 600,000 in 6 months. His father went straight to the apartment complex's to get them signed up for new roofs. He did the ones down here where Eric and Terina Live, total cost was $1.2 Million. He made $120,000 just on that job alone.

And that Hail storm is nothing compared to what happened in Florida this Summer.

what type of job is this, roofing?

[SlowWhite]

The company its Aztec Roofing. When he was here they did all the jobs for Allstate insurance. Along with anyone that called, or that they went house to house.

Again I wouldn't have to do any of the Labor putting up Roofs, I'd just have to go down and write up estimates, and take some photo's of damage, etc, etc. Submit it to the insurance company.

Also for you people on the whole College kick thing. The Owner of this company is a High School Drop out. I've met him several times while they were based here in MN. His total Net worth is just over 36 Million. Can I say I wanna be that guy! - best part is he doesn't have to do anything. He get's half of all commissions. (commision is what's left over after expenses of each job, on average for every $15,000 roof you'd get $1500 and he'd get $1500) ex: the roof of my house cost $15,000 to put up.

I'm not preaching about school... Hell, I'm a college dropout. Didn't even last one full year at St. Cloud. I'm participating in classes online at my own pace though, because I want to learn I guess. Knowing people will only get you so far...

Again, are you willing to give up what you have here just for 2-4 years of freedom down there? What are you going to have to fall back on once it's all said and done? It seems that this is mainly financially motivated... Money isn't happiness, my friend.
