Insurance, for example. Looking to have work done around your house? You can hire Harry from around the corner for much cheaper than someone who does handyman work for a living, but if Harry slips and falls, he doesn't carry insurance that covers him for that. If Harry messes up and fries your entire electrical system, guess what? He doesn't carry insurance to cover that, either.<br><br>That doesn't mean that Harry's not competent, not at all. <br><br>But it also doesn't mean that all the non-Harrys out there are ripping you off.<br><br>It IS hard to find professionals such as mechanics, because we as lay people have to pretty much just hope they're telling the truth. Most of us have no way to tell if they're lying or not, and it's uncomfortable to be in that position. <br><br>That doesn't mean that they're all crooks.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13058015555169862744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751143476915556143.post-18636437324314207672008-10-10T09:06:00.000-05:002008-10-10T09:06:00.000-05:00Amen!
