    Probably most of them because no one in their right mind would knowingly hire a JW, especially an elder.

    I have seen one witless (technically not a hounder, but he was the slimebag that dragged me in, and has many of the characteristics that most hounders have) that was frequently changing jobs. He would work as a maintenance person a while, then go to washing dishes, and then cleaning. He had cleaning accounts on the side (which rarely worked out, because he couldn't find and retain any help). Of course, he has also been fired for stupid things, usually things like deliberately disrupting business because of having to work alone one night because of a sick call.

    I know an elder who was an administrator for a elder-care/convelescent home who was fired and became a self employed blanket seller.

    Wafles,I am partly inspired by a post mentioning elders being self-employed as well as coming across an elder who is an art gallery owner(SW ENGLAND)

    In our old hall most of the elders were self employed

    a contractor

    Carpet layer

    Wallpaper/painter

    window washer

    cleaning business owner

    Garbage Disposal owner

    Floor waxing ,buffing

    They all seem to be pretty well off ......I think they get some good tax breaks for owning their own businesses and being "clergy"
