John:

I had no idea until last night that doing work 'on the side' is now a 4th degree crime in the state of NJ. My teacher at the Vo-tech told us that. And I am going to school so I can get my electrical/ business license because I realize how risky it is to do work and not have one. It's a shame that I'm not eligible to take the exam because a former employer had to take me off the books because he could not afford workman's comp ins. because he did not charge the customers enough. But these are the cards I've been dealt and I need to do side work to build a clientelle (sp?) so I can go into business for myself. It's also the reason I choose to come to this website so I'm better than the next moron who doesn't know how to do run a business.
