It's not that hard to open your own business as a tradesmen. I'm pretty handy, but there are some things I dont want to do because I'm busy. When I contract out work its gotten to the point where if a contractor actually *shows up* the work's theirs no matter the price. Can you imagine any other field with that low a bar to starting a succesful business? Just showing up and bam, you're in the top 20% of companies?
