Jim,

Why should we be surprised that people don't feel we are worth any money? Contractors on this very board don't feel that we are worth any money.

If we can't even convince ourselves, how can we convince others?

Exactly why I don't want to deal with the general public.

Would anyone really want to work for veronica or fuente? Then they wonder why their contractor experience turns into a nightmare. The line I hear all the time about low-bid contractors is "I tried to get him back but he isn't returning my calls".

But Tiger, how and where did they learn to think this way?

We've taught the general public to think this way for 100 yrs. Question our price and we drop our pants.

We don't have the ability to teach those in the industry about pricing, how can we teach those out of the industry?

I'm still waiting for the revolution. One day we (as a society) will wake up and figure out quality costs money. Right now people only seem to look at price.

How bout' that bonehead Fuente? " I had no intention of hiring an electrician, I just wanted to get bids to see how much I was going to save" and "my uncle was an electrician for 30 years". Nitwits like this I cant even post here how I feel about them.

I registered just to respond to that moron.

I just went to the site: "http://forum.doityourself.com" and looked around a bit.

I can only wonder how they do not kill themselves.

had to chime in. I quit this industry, anyone know an industry where you make alot of money and don't have to deal with people?
