I have been self employed for almost 25 years now . Good times , bad times ,up s n downs . I have had part time jobs to help fill in the gaps . Worked for ABX air ,,,was good gravy part time job . 15 hr , didn't really do much other than check over ground equipment . When things broke ,had to be fixed ASAP . Unbelievable what happens when air freight is delayed ! lol Job went belly up , miss it lots, it was fun , something different . I have a customer that owns small engine repair shop . He has trouble keeping mechanics. From time to time I will work a few nights for him to get caught up . Now,,my shop ,,my shop rate is 87.50 hr . His shop rate is 60 or so . He asks me to come help him out and offers to pay me $12 hr . I laugh , tell him it is kind of insulting to offer that . He says thats what he pays his guys . Good lord ! I tell him $20 hr ,he balks, but agrees . I go there , 6- 10 ,4 hr a night for i week and knock out more units than his other 3 guys combined . He wants to hired me full time ,, i chuckle ,and say you can't afford me . If he would pay a decent wage , he would get a decent tech . This guy has 200 mowers ,tillers, saws, etc backed up most of the summer . Can't make him understand that a good tech making $20-24 hr , will make him more money than paying 3 guys 12 hr . oh well,,,my rant .
