So you have no desire to be a paid instructor , well thats at least is something ,
but really changes very little of the central arguement that I have made , whether or not you will be the one who essentially has this business handed to them or not it still remains that is exactly what will happen.
Since the paid insructors will not have to compete for business amoung themselves , but simply wait for the next interested person to walk through the door .
I forget who made the point , and im not interested in looking it up , but they suggested that the instructors quailify with some extensive criteria before being allowed to instruct under this program. would you be adverse to such a requirement ?
as for my ability to grasp anything including conceptual thinking,,,, that is simply none of your business ,we are not that good of friends yet.
One interesting point though ,I have seen a consistent plea to stop making money an Issue in this , but yet in your inital post Money is exactly the point that you have made to AMA so you by generating those figures hope to work on the income part of those making the money but there is little interest to deal with the financial aspect of those spending it , this I hope AMA business leadership are wise enough to know is a reciept for disaster in business, since not all areas of our fine country enjoy the same finacial stability .,,,with a relitively smaller degree of the arguement being instructors being burned out,and that this incentive to earn a few extra bucks will magically reduce that burn out ,
My own personal experiance with this says that is simply not the way of it , after spending 27 years operating my own business , and now for the last 7 being in a semi retired position , I can tell you that for all the money I could make ,I could not go back to that business , there is almost a physical pain that I get if I even consider it , that is the result of burnout, 27 years 6 days a week 12 to 14 hrs a day , I was done and to this day I still am.
