Sean,
I did not know that waste disposal could be quite that lucrative, but I am
aware of people that do little more than drive around in a large fragrant
vehicle and make 50-60K per year plus health benefits and unfortunately
there are many skilled musicians who work pretty hard who do not earn that
much.
