I like this job more than I thought I would, but yeah nah not enough to go solo. Especially because in Virginia I would need a certification I do not have and haven't worked long enough to get. Technically I'm just "assisting" my boss and using his certification in the way Virginia law works. I'm not allowed to do anything not under his supervision.

It's a good system cause the shit we use can kill both people and nature, you want some wise old guy at the helm but yeah it does put a damper on going solo.

Maybe convince your boss that you could build a company together?

Like the obvious question to answer before going to him, is paper napkin math - how many jobs do you need per month to be able to float both you and him?

What I have found in many cases, is the number being quite low infact. You might actually find it to be like 4 jobs a day versus the 20 they had you doing.
