WORKING FOR FREE PAYS OFF IN THE END

ORLANDO CONSTRUCTION IS BOOMING!  In case you haven't driven by recently the cranes are now dotting the skyline once again.  Things have changed dramatically in just 18 months.  Local contractors are now reporting that they can't find enough qualified laborers versus the problem a few years ago not being able to find enough work.  

If you need a job but you dont' know anything about the construction trade.  Go work for free!  You most likely will hear "you don't have any experience" at which point you can  it with by telling them that you're going to work for free until you do have the necessary skills.  If they don't hire you, somebody else will.

Learning on the job is far more valuable than learning in the classroom.  You're more likely to learn it 4 times faster since you're doing it for 8 hours a day or more.  And since you're doing it every day it's a skill that will most likely stick with you for the rest of your life.  

In the book Rich Dad Poor Dad the author advocates that working for free is a great way to learn how the rich make money.  Of course this isn't possible unless you have enough money to live on.  One more reason why having a large emergency fund is a great idea.

    This website was created due to the atrociously misguided financial advice that I've heard over the decades.  Financial freedom is not intellectually strenuous, but it takes discipline.
