I can think of 5-10 people right now that would make perfect CGC graders the problem is you would need to pay them 100k starting to make them even think about stop selling comics or quit their day job now.
Like I said age demographic plays a big part as I doubt you would give up your job as a lawyer to be an entry level employee grader right?
I would rather have CGC behind then hire graders that are not qualified and hurt the hobby.
I don't purport to know what they pay. Clearly they aren't paying $100k to a new grader. What I'm saying is what they're paying isn't working to attract the right type/# of applicants, if they are trying to hire.
Mike that is my point usually people that can grade already make a ton of money in the first place.
I am telling you 22-27 is perfect, but guys that age range and already have a sound comic background do not just fall off trees.
200k and I'm there You'd take $24k. Remember, no Manhattan cost of living. You'd probably come out ahead. I wouldn't take that WITH a rent-free apartment
