    Hello from cold Atlanta

    I thinking about getting into the metal scrap business it looks like it you can make a good living if you educate yourself and learn from the veterans that have been in business who can mentor you to make the least amount of mistakes .
    This forum has so much knowledge on it that I'm sure you can make a good living at it thanks for letting me be part of it.

    I moved down to Cold Atlanta 14 yrs ago from Boston retired early from Lucent technologies well forced to retire met a southern girl
    And we got married, I'm always looking for a way to make a good income working for myself at 59 yrs old, I still work and make a good income but I don't enjoy my job like I did in my early years , the management seems so into saving money and not caring for there employes maybe I'm just getting old and want to let the young generation save the day . I was just curious with people that have been in this business if they can make a good living with selling metals.

    Welcome from another Rhode Islander. Hey Shendog, what part of Rhode Island are you from? I was born in Warwick, I think it's called West Warwick now. Hey Sirscrapalot, Pick on someone your own size.

    LOL...You available Happy? Makes ya feel better, I like RI more then most of the states south of it.



    Here's a joke making fun of Delaware...I figured I'd pick on another small state.

    Q: Did you hear about the fire in University of Delaware's football dorm that destroyed 20 books? A: The real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet.
