When I was 16 I started working as an automotive detailer at a detail shop. I had the choice between being paid hourly or commision per car, I chose commision and made a lot of money since it was a you get what you give kind of thing. Going into it I had zero experience, but my boss took a liking to me and gave me a shot. He was flexible with my hours since I was still in highschool, so that helped. After a few years of doing this I learned the business, obviously how to detail, and made some key contacts. During summers while home from college I ran my own business out of the garage where I had accounts with a used car lot, a body shop, and about 5 customer cars per week from word of mouth. Was really good money, like $1000/week…but was phsyically draining at the same time.
