Net (60K minus all costs) = _________________?
In item 12, be sure to include health and life insurance, and retirement savings. The worst case scenario is not that you fail after a short term in expediting, but that you reach the end of a long expedite career and have nothing to show for it, and only the government to rely on for food, clothing and shelter in your later years. Breaking even does not a successful expediter make.
