I'm roughly six months from graduating with a business degree, I have about 15k in student loans. No other debt and too many toys.

I am just wondering what would you do with a degree, nothing holding you to anywhere in particular and why you would consider doing that.

I think I posted this here for two reasons, first of all I know most of ya'll and appreciate your input and secondly you are all working within an industry that I have a great interest in.

Dude, do what you want to do and whatever makes you happy. The only reason I went to college was to make my parents happy. I had started tinting between my jr and sr year in high school. I went on to college got my degree. graduated in May and had my first tint shop open on June 1st. Never looked back

Good luck and I hope you ventures are prosperous :trustme

I would love to open up another shop. Not sure where yet, although Austin, Tx looks tempting. My only goal is to kill that debt asap and build a little capital... So I think I better hit the corporate side for a while... maybe.. lol

if you can escape from the industry run away! when you can!

as far as the degree, if you already have some experience along with that then go forward with it and hope it will be rewarding. Just make sure were you look, many major companies out there rather hire legal alien residents to pay less then us citizens. its a dirty world out there in the corporate side.

Here's advice : listen and take in people's free advice on this that are your age and older.

People that aren't successful have good insight of valuable things they WISHED they had done while others who are successful have experience on how they got there..I ask well off and not well off advice all the time to help enrich my life .

I'll start you off : Dump the toys if you don't feel you need them, if certain toys bring you much joy, keep them because life's a 1 shot deal while here on earth ..enjoy it but not at the cost of great debt or toys that you can turn into cash which gets you out of debt.

As far as choosing a career that will lead you to great success, choose something yo love and are passionate about. If you do this , the money will come because you will always have energy and work long hours on something you are passionate about . Hard work and good ethics will take you a long way. The best of luck :trustme

      Dual Low E Question

      To clarify for any public folks reading and industry folks that may not know: The LowE dual coating spoke of by the OP is a rare bird for use in area south of Iowa,USA. The only reason(s) I believe Cardinal (based in Wisconsin) placed the second coating on surface 4 is, 1) is to sell that type glazing system in areas that experience extreme cold below to above 0 F for nights on end and on 4 it is more effective at retention for that use. Iowa is logically the furthest south it should be recommended for. That said, the other coating on surface 2 is the hi-performance coating. This high performance coating is capable of rejecting solar energy, in a LowE2 glazing system of 60%+/- and up to 94% when considering Low4. A LowE4 dual pane would be the ticket in Australia's seriously hot spots. Sadly, if it caught on there, it would impact the window film industry in regions it is useful. Although, LowE4 is pricey at this point in time. A friend of mine had a sun room built on his house in Southern Virginia using LowE4, even as a roof. The vast majority of dual coating LowE glazing involves no coating on surface 4, the exception being original LowE that has not been readily available since around year 2000. Surface 2 & 3 is considered the norm today, for warmer climates north of tropical. Also, the hi-performance LowE2, 3 & 4 glazing systems are very effective at UV reduction (to my understanding in the mid to upper 90's). Original LowE first came on the scene in my early years in the industry and many of us didn't know unless the owner told us, and even with that knowledge, we did not know film covering the coating on surface 4 would rendered LowE ineffective. Those days, single pane LowE existed and the coating would be on surface 2, then.

      Dual Low E Question

      Where I live in Western Australia, we generally focus more on solar energy rejection than heat retention. In recent years builders have jumped onto the low E and double-glazing bandwagon, telling their clients that they will have an energy efficient window, therefore saving them money on energy bills. What they don't tell them is that they will still be wanting to get their glass tinted once they realise how useless these types of windows are in our climate. I won't touch double glazed windows due to risks involved but with low E glass I tell the customer that we can only use a light scouring sponge on the surface to clean before installation, not our usual razor blades. They're usually cool with that. And if they're not, I'm not too bothered about missing out on their job.

      Any XPEL Dealers?

      Thats good there’s not too many other shops offering it. I think a lot of customers choose a tint company based off reviews.
