Just had my carpets drycleaned.

the guy charged me $180 for 60 minutes work but while I was paying I noticed in his book he had 7 bookingstoday. Now I did rough calculations and think he roughly would have pulled in around $1500 today only. Obviously there would be expenses including franchise fees but the guy would be making a killing.


what other examples are there?

Very few jobs you can get by just shitkicking around or bludging. Most are difficult in their own way and requuire a certain standard of performance. Even the less mentally challenging roles still require: building a business base, marketing, selling, dealing with customers (and inevitably complaints) and getting the work done. In running your own business also you take on full responsibility.

Working for someone else also involves dealing with their requirements, KPIs and standards. Can't really wing it there either.

Mate of mine gets paid 50 bucks an hour atm to "inspect banana's" on weekend, easy $1000 bucks
Rent boy?

Pest spray for cock roaches. You can buy the shit online for $25 a bottle and then charge $180 for a spray (a bottle would last multiple jobs). Takes 20 mins.
Why aren't these guys called exterminators anymore? It sounds much cooler than pest controller.

A mate runs a sandblasting company, wont get out of bed for less than $200/hour, in saying that, I've helped him on occasion and the work resembles standing in the middle of a sandstorm in a 50 degree celsius sealed helmet......... in hell.

Pressure washer on mine site. Basically they wash dirt off mobile equipment before they go into the workshop. Its dirty so definitely a shitkicker job, but they get paid extraordinary money for what they do
