some thoughts based on events in germany for you. a "handful" of mailman (yep the guys that bring your snailmail) gets a minimum salary deal at nearly 10 (yes TEN) euro an hour minimum pay. cool isn't it? works out to about $600 a week, $2400 a month for a "no brain" employment.
WHY? combination of a strong union / and a former monopoly service (the german Bundespost) to keep the monopoly (by pushing lowpay pricks out) and make the "paperboy" happy (and therefore his union).
so what should you learn from it (call it distill out of all the crap)?
how is it with:
yes some ppl (even complete morons) make money as owners of dc's. cert agencies do well the bigger they are, the better they do.
they still raise your membership fees every year. hey, you cough it up, so why not - let's try to find the NOMORE point
comes somehow to the union issue again... in a way.... yep i know, its all different and "not possible" blablablubbersprotzoggle.
well, it isn't - because you f*cking w*nkers work for sh*t and sometimes even free!!!!
you ever think about it, what would be happen if you would really aproach your job with realistic economic goals - like ... i wanna sit in the sun, don't work too much, make decent money, be able to afford a car and a house.....
well - know what - i do! i work about half the hours of my old instructor job, do (kind of) f**k all..., sit in the sun, have (and can afford) 1st world fun and gadgets. how?? i got my d**ned butt out of fulltime slave labour!
i still dive every week for fun, i teach courses (i like) every month making more money .
sometimes i miss my fulltime beachbum thing, thinking about my still fulltime beach, easy - well paid job, and suddenly 50% of the course fee freelance job .....
Why work 80hrs + a week for $250, If you can work 35hrs for $500
