<P>Jim,</P>
<P>Agreed, I was commenting more on the "Well, I don't like barbering, so I guess I'll hoe tobacco" aspect of the earlier email. I would never disparage barbers, they have too many sharp things lying around, and they can make you look really bad really fast. And they DO make money...say.... maybe I can write them a database tool...hmmmmm. <BR>_d<BR><BR>"Things are only free to the extent that you don't pay for them".-Don Elliker </P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Don,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I wouldn't knock the barbering. Some make pretty good money. In my neck
<DIV></DIV>>of the woods, a haircut goes for $12 -$15. A good barber will push out 4
<DIV></DIV>>cuts an hour. $60/hr? Not too bad. Especially since what is report as
<DIV></DIV>>income at tax time and what goes in the pocket can be two totally different
<DIV></DIV>>things.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Plus no long term stress, no deadlines, and you know the customer needs to
<DIV></DIV>>come back in a month or so<G>.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Of course their are some drawbacks (like being on your feet all day), but
<DIV></DIV>>that's true of any job.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> My point though is that it is not as bad as some things you could be
<DIV></DIV>>doing....

<DIV></DIV>> That's it! That's the options? - Hoeing Tobacco and Barbering?? I have a
<DIV></DIV>>feeling there must be SOME other opportunities. Puts me in mind of a joke
<DIV></DIV>>about Hell, though. Remind me on Friday.
