My boy been doing this for 3 years. He is making about 35/hr, nicca just copped a vette and everything. It's a good career if you're good at that type of thing. Hope you ain't afraid of heights.

exactly waht I was gonna post. My buddy worked for a guy for a fwe years, learned the trade, and started his own. You would suprised to see how few business their are in that field. He charges to install, fix, clean, and maintnence. Great business, especially out here in LA where everyone is "green"
