College kid looking for work, scrapping worth the time? - Page 2

As long as you have tools and equipment, you can have pretty good money.

Well said. But to add to what Mick said. I have gone full time on my scrapping / ebay business and have done very well, make enough money for my family of 5 to live on, its a hard way to live but it will get you through the good times and the bad times. You will get out of your business what you put into it. Blood, sweat and tears. If you encounter all of those then you know your doing it right. 16 hour days get old after awhile, but whatever it takes to keep the bills paid is what i will do.

Welcome from Kansas City

I have a B.A., a M.S. and got halfway done with my Ed.D. and just decided to exit the blue coller world to do my own thing. Hell yes its worth it. I have no restrictions and I feel totally stress free.
