I've done the Purolator thing, early mornings for ok-to poor pay. I'm not looking to work a lot of hours (or odd shifts) while I'm at school; I've shown in the past that I simply can't make the grades I need if I take the time to work. So, since I am determined to go to school, and I can't work much durning school, I need to make my money when I'm not at school from May-August.
I've minimized my costs as much as I care to, but I need an income greater then a 'standard summer job' that the average post secondary student has. (Not to mention that I'm older and have more work/life experience then the average college kid). I have been told that I can get this from College Pro Painting. I have already started and run a small business, and if the location was better and the profit higher, I wouldn't even be considering this.
It sounds like the TFPers have had a lot of negative experiences. I haven't offcially been granted a franchise yet, and even then I have some time to review the contracts and agreements.

That should take you to a web-based version of what they showed me at my first information session. It didn't turn on any alarm bells, but so far this thread has.
