This.

One word of advice?

Don't!

seriously- I have to grown sons- one just graduated college- I have never encouraged them to become involved in roofing- because I know there are horrific odds against even making a simply decent living-let alone abundance.

On the other hand- both sons have often worked on my projects-in fact the recent Grad is working for me now while he looks for a "real" job-and both sons have a real appreciation for the fact that roofing is beastly hard work-even the easy projects are unpleasant,and that you have to deal with many extremely unpleasant people.

they also know it can be relatively lucrative and that there are many paths to success if you can sit down with a pencil and paper and think things through.

If I offered one sentence of advice it would be " Evaluate each prospective roofing project as an independent investment opportunity and don't be conscerned with staying "busy".

don't do it, be a great #2 guy for someone else.

Charge enough to make money, and do good enough work to stay busy. Invest some of the profits in something other than your business; good stocks or mutual funds.
