Do you think a Jet Ski Rental business would be a good way to make money?
If I had it in Miami Florida on the beach. I'll buy at least 6 or 7 jet ski's (just to start with, when i get more money i'll buy more) and charge $90/hour. Assuming I already paid off the money from buying the jet ski's, even if i only get 2 customers per day, I'll make $1,260 per week at least! Minus the price for gas. But I will definitely get way more customers than that, unless it's stormy that week. What do you think? It'd be a good business right? I could also provide surf boards, and boogie boards to rent also. Maybe snorkel supplies and flippers too.

It could be good depending on how well you maintain it. Don't forget about insurance for your business/jet skis. You'll probably have to have permits from whatever city you're in, taxes on the building you house everything in. You'll need someone who can service/repair broken equipment as well. I'd love to have something like that though...freedom!

renting jet skis is not a cheap or casual thing to do. jet skis are powerfull machines capable of creating a lot of excitement and fun, but they can and have caused accidents and injuries. per scott who owns a jet ski business "Scott on 12/18/2009 5:10:33 PM I own a Jet Ski operation in Panama City Florida and have since 2000. I get this all the time some guy walks up after renting and says" I think I will open a Jet Ski Rental Business!" Where do I begin? First off unless you have around $80,000 cash laying around forget it!! You must also be able to do all maintenance on these machines short of rebuilds yourself. Then there's the location, at most beach's in Florida that allow rentals you can figure on coughing up $15 to $25,000 dollars per spot!! Then you are limited to how many machines you can run per feet of Beachfront at your resort. Then you will need a 4x4 vehicle to drag them that will eat away at the bottom of the skis $200 per waverunner to repair every season. Insurance will stop 99% of the DREAMERS out there, there are only 2 companies in the U.S. that even write this sort of policy and if you have never owned a Jet Ski Rental business in the past you probably don't qualify and if you somehow do get in figure on approx $4,000 per machine for coverage 25% upfront with 4 payments! You need a minimum of 4 to break even just so you know. figure $1000 to $2000 each machine for repairs as rental are not covered under factory warranty as well! I personally run 9 machines and must make $200,000 per year just to pay all the bills and net $80,000 and I must do all of this in 5 months out of the year ( 7 days a week straight!) that means from march thru August I work from sun upto sun down no breaks and no life except my business. then there is the added bonus of being in the sun every day for 12 hours here in Florida. If you forget to coat on the sunblock 5 times a day you will be seeing the dermatologist scalpel up close and personal as he cuts off inflamed cartilage and sunspots for biopsy, what a great time!! Sorry if I paint a grim picture but not just any bozo off the street can throw a few old skis in the water and call it a business!! that my friends it not how it works at all! My advice to you is buy an established rental business from a company with a great safety record and stability in one spot. You should only pay 10 months of revenue and all machinery is depreciated at 20% each year of age period! My business for example would sell for $246,000 that's it! nine machine that are two years old and ten months of sales DON"T GET RIPPED OFF by someone who attaches emotions to their business. I see these ad's all over the net for ridiculous asking prices all you are doing is taking over a lease paying the ten months and equipment depreciated worth it's real simple. Think long and hard before diving in people! Good luck!" http://www.startupbizhub.com/jet-ski-ren… hope this helps

Specific salary ranges vary greatly depending on the size of the resort, its Length of season, and what the resort amenities are in the off-season. Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, Engineering, Planning, and most of the off-snow-behind-the-scenes jobs (management and non-management) continue all summer long at large resorts. Base Managers, Mountain Operations, Rental Shop, and Food Service positions generally are seasonal. Many of the managers in those areas work in some other capacity at the resort if there are off-season things there such as a golf course, water park, or alpine slides. The resort I patrol at is run by a management company that also operates three summer camps and a fun park. Everyone in the management at the resort works at one of those other locations in the summer. While not actually on the ski resort property, it is the same company so they maintain benefits and same pay rates. Large resorts with on site hotels or rental properties also have managers who remain at the resort all year since many resorts rent the lodge out for weddings and events. Your best bet is to take up something like accounting, marketing or advertising (and take some hospitality management classes too) and then get a job at a resort. You still get the same perks as the on-snow guys and have a better chance at scoring a year round gig.

I saw a show about a head guy at Breckenridge ski area and he was so busy he only skied like 10 days a season. So keep that in mind...
3 :
crikeys got it. I have a degree in ski area management....... lot of good it did. i worked one season and realized I never got on snow. I quit, (the money was enough) but now I work in Interior design, my minored subject in school. I ski around 75 days a year and still make enough to get by.
4 :
Remember, you can ruin the fun of skiing if you get a job managing a ski resort. Most times you just want to get away from work. Well you can't get away to your favorite place (the ski resort) if that is your job as well. Just try getting a job that pays a lot, that you will somewhat enjoy, and then spend all your money at the ski resort! Or consider a part time job at the resort or becoming an instructor so you get all the good discounts.

With all these great things. What was so bad about the Nazi's?
With all these great things. What was so bad about the Nazi's?
Statements on the Internet on what the Nazis invented/ contributed to the modern world Volkswagen KdF computer, invented by Konrad Zuse 1941. Jet plane in 1939 by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke. The first manned rocket flight in 1945 (unfortunately it lasted only some seconds and pilot Lothar Sieber died) Nazi doctors, in line with their campaign for public health were the first to write a major scientific paper linking smoking with lung cancer, I believe smoking was even banned, for a brief time in the Luftwaffee. Nazis invented Nerve gasses Sarin and Tabun. Invented first effective automatic rifle, single person anti-tank weapons (precursors to RPGs). You can see some magnificant architecture by Speer that was planned in nearly any documentary on the man. Autobahns Stealth technolgy was invented by the Horten brothers during the Reich. Audio technology using magnetic tape was a Third Reich invention. Copying German tape recorders was how the famous American corporation Ampex got its start. Magnetic tape was also essential later for the video tape recorder. Allies hadn't a clue how the Axis was transmitting speeches and programs hours apart to different locations and having them sound "live." It was top of the list of technologies to capture as the war concluded. Management systems for keeping massive and complex development programs on track was another "invention" transferred to the US, along with its scientists and project managers. These systems allowed the Germans to have developments underway in numerous categories and perform them remarkably well. The Wankel engine, which is now referred to as the "rotary engine" was invented during the Third Reich. Mazda uses this engine extensively. Someone mentioned the Autobahnen as really an idea thought up during the Weimar Republic. Yes, but that brings to light another achievement, and that is simply the will and energy to put unemployed workers to work doing things that needed to be done, something the Weimar government was totally inept at doing. "Parliamentary chaos" combined with acquiescence to WWI reparations were the problems. Missile technology: Ground-to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-ground, ground-to-air, ship-to-ship, etc., using wire guidance, TV guidance, IR guidance (everything but laser quidance). Most of these missiles were not at the highest form of development, but their work launched and made a bundle of money later on for corporations like Boeing, Raytheon, Hughes Aircraft, North American Aviation (Rocketdyne Div.), etc. All of these companies had their German "Chief Scientist" heading up research and development operations. The promising IR technologies were mostly all developed during the Third Reich. They had "night vision" devices while the Allies were still wondering if such things were possible. Modern sewer treatment facilities are all derived from Third Reich technology. You've probably seen them with their settling ponds and huge skimmers. While the Englishman, Farnsworth, gets credit for the invention of a very rudimentary television, it was the Third Reich that perfected television and conducted the first broadcasting. Application of geophones for seismic wave detection was used for locating artillary. The "wishbone cannon" was invented and installed at Calais, France. It was destroyed before it was operable. The "rail gun" was another significant invention, which the US and SU copied. This weapon employes a series of ring magnets to propell a rail mounted projectile. The significant feature of this "gun" is that it can accelerate the projectile at a speed nearing infinity -- at least in theory. Conventional explosives are limited by their individual, finite rates of expansion and hence constrained in how fast they can make a projectile move. The intial "invention" of the Third Reich that made everything possible was the breaking away from the international banking system, which made its money on debt finance; i.e., usury. This act was probably the most important event which caused WWII to later occur. In the Thirties the German economy was booming and all sorts of new humane benefits were granted to workers. Elsewhere, deep economic depression was underway, and Roosevelt, for instance, really couldn't get things to moving until we went into a war economy mode. In all, 300,000 patents and copyrights were expropriated from Germany by the Allies after 1945. The Fischer-Tropsch process to produce synthetic fuels from coal, which fueled Germany's armed forces throughout the war. The dicovery of the ingesting of faecal bacteria to cure gut problems http://www.rense.com/general4/bac.htm Dr Morell used his Mutaflor to treat Hitler's foul smelling stools.

Yes, you're right about the inventions and all that stuff. What was bad about them was that they killed 6 million Jews and millions more who they didn't like, had horrible concentration camps where they would put them in gas chambers, had them dig their own graves, starve them to death, and also shot innocent men, women, children, and even babies. They were influenced by one of the most evil men in history, Adolf Hitler. So overall, they were still pretty bad people and there are still Nazis out there even today! So if you talk to people about them, they will still think of them as brutal and evil people. Know this though, not all Germans back then were Nazis. Interesting data you have there.

refinance his house and live like a King? I refinanced my $85,000.00 house in Ft. Myers, Florida for $420,000.00 with an AltA (liars) loan. I didn't have much equity in it anyway so I refinanced and got $293,000.00 at closing after the fees ect. I had an adjustable rate AltA loan which some genius on Wall Street dreamed up. It was interest only for three years so the payment was only a bit over $2000.00 per month. I set aside money for the payments for three years, about $70,000.00 and pocket the difference. So I put the $220,000.00 difference in a three year CD at 5%. I stopped making payments as soon as the loan reset and waited for them to foreclose, which took 18 months during which time I paid nothing at all. I left the key in the door with a Thank You note to Bank Of America. Now all these Socialists are taking away my rights and ruining my financial future.
