I'll tell you where I think there is a niche to fill. As our population ages I find more older customers who are confused by the newer electronics. They are needing help hooking up that new VCR,or how to get the DVD to play and connect it to the TV. Things like that. And they are willing to pay. I sent my helper on a call last week to a lady who just retired and "just wanted to watch DVDs,tapes and cable"for awhile. She paid fifty bucks for us to stop by,hook the very basic VCR/DVD/cable box together properly. Easy money and usually can knock one off during a lunch hour.Just have to find that niche! bobstv wrote: > > Personally I am glad I only have a few years left to work and hope it will > hold out at least till then.
