Speaking of such things.. the richest man I ever knew once told me his motivation for building the business was that he "needed a job, so he made one"

Brilliant man. High school dropout to boot. One of the "uneducated smart"

I have been thinking allot about what he said recently.. Two distinctly separate events have left me with an opportunity to get into the automatic transmission business. I am still mulling it over.

These unemployment threads and the SS threads really make me think hard about such a move. If any FReeper Entreapaneurs or Auto Mechanics have input, I would certainly welcome an FR Mail. It's kind of a scary proposition and any feedback would be appreciated.

Autotrans? My Bro-in-law is a mechanic. Does OK in Phoenix. About $55K. Warrantees are killing him. Dealers are taking his business.

He doesn't recommend it. Then, again, any business you own might do you far better than the guy next to you, if you are better at the business.
