    It's not ALL just black and white. I'll agree tho 75% is a bit much, say maybe thirty cent or so. If you are that anal bout those things now, jes stick around. Worse *****'in is yet to come.

Bout like the time I was tagged for a rear ender, when a fella put his car in reverse at a toll both and backed into me.

    Is it a good time to get in to the business?

    Not much info on your background in this business, but, it all depends on how much you are willing to pay for a good education.
