Right. So they want a friend to say "Yeah, I know him, and ... I mean, I haven't ever had anything to do with his massaging (you know, since he can't legally practice) so don't know of his capabilities, but I'm sure he'll be fine! =D =D =D"

So many hoops to jump through!

I hope you succeed!

This! Exactly! X3 and thank you, so do I.

It makes sure that people don't on a whim decide to come up with some scheme to scam people or pull some illicit or shady angle. Security is inversely proportional to convenience.

But it's reaching such a point that it's locking people out of a job because it's just so fucking HARD to get through! and -costly-. I'm looking at up to, if not over a grand in combined costs, just to get started! not counting time I wait until I -get- the paperwork and okay to get started. that's a decent 2-3 weeks in DOWNTIME.

there's a lot of red tape to cut and hoops to jump for just about everything it seems. Just trying to book a trip to AC means I had to pretty much be dissected for a passport(birth certificate, sponsor with passport, two additional references, additional govt issued id, a very limiting photo, all prim and proper) then dissected a second time when I actually go on the trip(declare trip at least 72 hours in advance so you can be looked up against a national do not fly list, where are you going to be staying, show passport, hope to god there's nothing in your carryon they decide to randomly dislike with the new paranoid airport security).

Huzzah.

There's a point where people need to say "You know, shit is going to happen and there is really not much we can do about it. So why do we continue to horribly inconvenience and trip each other up when you have about as much chance of winning the lottery as something bad happening."

That point, I feel, will never come, because government will always say "It's for your own safety" unless they somehow manage to weed out every terrorist, which I highly doubt will ever happen. and in my case, there will always be someone else looking to rip people off, where I want to just do the job I'm trained in. o.o

You might hate me for this but...

My sister went to city hall and got a business licence for 50 dollars with just a company title and home address.

*Glasses* ...IN AMERICA.

I have an ABN, got it for free. I -could- work, but the associations handle professional insurance and medicare rebates, which is what about 90% of clients want to use. not to mention they advertise, they keep me up to date with stuff in the professional world, etc. etc.

[tris_hawthorne]

Oh... it just seemed like you were listing stuff that you needed with which to do business at all... but you meant in order to deal with insurance as payment?
