    Pricing and cost discussions are not permitted in the open forums. Please read site rules, thank you. Those discussions are only permitted in the Pro forums. namely the Pro Business and Marketing forum.

    I'll back his advice.

    Training is a never-ending thing. I've been in the trade since 94 and I am continuously looking for new opportunities to improve myself professionally.

    Now, I'm not a 'business' guy, but if you were planning on going out on your own, you'd think you would already have a fair handle on what costs and mark-ups and such would be.
