How do I prepare from going to home school to high school?

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

My parents seemed really against me going to school, but then I asked about this 1 week attendance thing (Im home schooled btw) and it turns out they don't have that (My dad called for information) And I said I wanted to tour the school (assistant principal invited me) and my mom said I might as well make an appointment with the principal instead. Do you think I'll get to go to school?

Should this college student start a painting business?

My parents are landlords and I have experience working with my dad painting the interior of the units between tenants. I believe there is a need in my area for apartment painting. I have an entrepreuener mind and am willing to put in the planning to make this work.
A huge bonus to this was the thought that I would have little start up costs, already having the materials in my garage at home. But I have found that I would probably need contractors insurance. This has crushed my dream.
Can I just have the client sign a waiver of any liablility? I can't see it being worth my efforts if I have to come up with alot of insurance money. I will not undertake a job I can't finish.
Do I need some sort of a license (NY state)?
Any other expenses?(besides equipt?
I know that I will never be successful without being able to say I have insurance, but I am just looking to make money over the next 2-5 years while providing a great paint job this energetic student will provide. Is it worth it?
