    Because you have expenses, even if you don't do ANYTHING but cut
    wax: 

    1. Out of that comes 25% for income taxes (or more) 

    2. You have an amount of time where you have NOTHING to do or maybe
    you have paperwork to do. Assume this: 

        a. You have 3 jobs this week, 1 takes 18 hours, 1 takes 8 hours
        and 1 takes 4 hours. You make $14 an hour on each. 

        b. You have to deliver the 3 jobs to the store or to the
        customer 

        c. Or you mail them 

        d. Or you send them out to be cast and go there or mail them. 

        e. you run to the bank 

        f. you clean up the wax room. 

    3. After all is said and done you work a 40 hour week, but get paid
    for the 3 jobs at $14 an hour a total of $410. 40 hours divided into
    $420 is not $14 an hour $10.50. Surely you can make better than that
    working someplace.
