    Help me convince my friend this is a bad idea
    Ok, he recently has gotten MANY bad ideas, #1 amoung them was getting married to this broad who is 10 years younger than him who already has 2 kids. That was a HUGE mistake, and one he can't really see right now, or maybe does see and won't admit to.

    This is a guy who comes up with scheme after scheme trying to get rich, 1st it was web development, FAILED miserably, then it was band promotion, FAILED MISERABLY, then it was buying liquidated items and reselling them, TOTAL FAILURE.

    NOW his brainwave, which i am assured came from his idiot Wife, is to Open a HAIR SALON!

    Now his "wife" is going to beauty school, as those who are 24/25 and knocked up with 2 kids and no education beyond HS are pretty much limited in their career pursuits..but i'm sure that make him and her EXPERTS at opening up a hair salon! LOL

    This guy got bailed out by his old man last fall to the tune of 90+K, doesn't have to pay it back and is headed right back there again.

    He says "Everyone who isn't bald needs to get their hair cut", sound logic, BUT, Broads especially are very particular where they go, they usually find a place and stick with it, not go to some place where he will "rent out the chairs to the stylists" and make money off them, essentially as a pimp would.

    This whole thing just gives me a headache as i want to see my buddy do well, but he just WILL NOT try to work for it, its always some quick buck, scam or scheme with him.

    oh, i forgot, his latest scheme, before this was to buy pirated Tetris Nintendo DS games frmo hong kong and sell them on Amazon and Ebay, that lasted about 3 weeks before he got shut down....

            He is going to bleed money and the place won't last. Bad idea and the economy sucks. I give it 3 months at best.

            People are cutting back and most women and most men are loyal to their current stylists/barbers. His wife has no credibility.

            His old man sounds like a fool as well. $90K???

                  Maybe the guy got all his ideas from watching the federal government bailing out reckless gambling banks,industries,mortgage companies and people buying more house than they can afford.Geesh,all except the last group are run by Ivy league college grads.So much for just people making it through high school having no chance to succeed.I guess if you have an Ivy league degree and fail misserably you don't pay the price.The one thing the guy did do wrong was to get his daddy involved bailing him out.The guy should have gone bankrupt or welshed on paying off anything.The only thing he could lose was his ability to borrow more money if that happened which would be just what the doctor ordered.I suggest the bunch of them move to Wendover,Nevada where it's a low cost of living .They just had ads in their local paper for taxi drivers at $10 an hour plus tips.They have 5 or 6 casinos there.Buy a piece of dirt for a couple grand and put up a 5 grand garage package and modify it into a home.You would be surprised how nice those hunting shacks can be especially when you keep them up nice and best of all,no mortgage.

                            Brock - turn it around. Tell him you think it's an awesome idea and you want in on it. Then he'll definitely have second thoughts.

                              Going to beauty school means she will be qualified to work at Great Clips or Fantastic Sams at minimum wage. In a bad economy, the easiest thing to cut back on is expensive hair cuts/hair coloring and get the hair cut for $10 at Great Clips. Dumbass will be broke in a couple of months tops. Most women who can afford it say with their hair stylest and don't experiment with new people just out of school.

                                That is the reason they want to get this going. Try explaining that this is precisely where they have been had. Those schools are scam preying on uneducated females trying to get a profession and make a living. Those schools are the only party who is making profit in this business. Same goes for computer technician courses.

                                Come to think of it, running a company that teaches trade courses is going to be insanely profitable while so many more people are going to be out of work. Those people are going to be desperate and willing to pay for whatever they think may help them getting a job. Well, selling dreams has always been profitable but those are only dreams.

Basically for the guy to trust the broad enough to open a salon for her is stupid. At least make her prove that it will be a successful venture by getting a job at another salon for a given time period so that she has the skill and client base that she could then bring with her to her own salon if this is what she chose to do. After she learned the ins and out of the business she could then attempt to start up her own venture with your buddies money, but otherwise he is asking for another strike in what seems to be a failed life.
