Anyone ever hear of the VOLUNTEER concept. It seems to work for AHEIA.

$55 bucks an hour, if the course is 3 eight hour days.
Pretty good cash actually if you can do a few courses a month, for a retired guy or to augment other income.
But you have to factor in prep and travel time too, as well as your equipment.
As for GK lining his pockets with this mandatory course I just don't see it. If it was all about money he'd be solely focused on all that dirt equipment the family owns.
I've done the retail thing as an owner and there's no money in it, I appreciate he has the store there as it's nice and close with lots of selection, but it's no cash cow.
From the outside looking in from a business standpoint anyway, I'd say with 100% certainty that everything he does with trapping is because he loves it and the people associated with it.
There are simply, far more lucrative ways to make money !!!
