Vet, you’re a smart guy.
If you were 49 and wanted a career change...which one?
Cyber security, Drones, 3d Printers, Driver-less cars...
Or “stay where you are, you’re too old!” :)

Updating My Resume!
Bookmarked.
WOW.
That’s quite a bit more than I was making in Manhattan before TBI and a LOT more than I’m making now ten years later!
I shall investigate.
Thanks.
The only time I made that kind of money was selling pay phones. Those really don’t exist anymore.
I caught the tail end of that business when it was deregulated.
Some company was giving me 150 a pop for finding locations.
Only lasted a year but made a bundle.
All that money they put in and then cell phones came out!!!
There are still a handful in NYC. They’re good for billboard advertising :)
I was paid $450 a pop for finding locations, so on the average day I picked up a $900 check in the mid 1980’s. Some days I made over $30,000.
“Deregulation is driving the drone market. “
Nah.
Actually it is regulation that has opened their future!
Drones haven’t been regulated but, effectively, banned- the regulators had no idea what to do with them.
GOOD GOD!!!
I caught it at the end unfortunately, somewhere around ‘93.
Others might find that hard to believe but I don’t. I made four or five hundred some days only getting 1/3 or 1/4 of what you made. And I didn’t work that long everything LOL
When I did it we were able to offer the company whose grounds that was placed on $200 and a small commission every month
Maybe they can combine drones with phones.
A drone-a-phone.

I think the “matter-net” they are setting up in Africa to make drone deliveries of drugs where it otherwise takes days to reach people is very beneficial.
They are already being used for building inspection and site inspection.
We paid them 5% to 15% commission but no up-front money depending on what kind of phone it was presumed to be.
Fascinating. Besides the pay being drastically slashed by the time I got to it, it was quite similar.
Born in ‘68 so I caught the very end. ####
I sold electrolux in college. That was back before you’d get a hole blown in you for walking up to a door :)
Was 18 and sometimes made 1k a week in the summer. I twas like a MILLION!
Made 3.65 an hour before that stockings shelves at (Geez..what shoe store did i work at?) Kinney? Dont remember :)
bkmk
I have a Go Pro 5 already. Great camera.
Although I couldn’t see myself spying on people, I see the requests for drone stuff on sites like Thumbtack that involve property surveys.
I might have to look into actually getting one and see about that license in the article.
