Originally I was going to let this go, but it really smacks of ugliness. I have a route that I am in the process of selling. $75,000 is the price. That's a good chunk of money. But let's see it in another light. What's a 4 year college degree cost? How much money can you make while going to school full time? What kind of job are you guaranteed when you finish school and at what salary? Don't most college graduates have a sizable amount to pay back in loans? This is why I always say that getting into ground depends upon the individual. Now in this light, how bad is the deal?
Good post. I have a couple of degrees that cost me (and Fred) good money and I don't use them very often. My gripe is that Ground is just another FredEx method to get more by paying less and taking advantage of a certain demographic. I notice you didn't really touch upon my questioning the ethics of the Ground model.
