I am only guessing here (based on your post, you seem to be in or near college age...) you are under 30?
expensive cars, rounds of drinks, cruise vacations, guitar, violin lessons are ALL choices made by someone deciding where to spend their EXPENDABLE cash.
Someone who has expensive cars, rounds for friend, $10,000 vacations, piano, guitar and violin lessons is LIKELY to understand the cost/expense economics of any business. (unless they work in a government position... lol)

Ron Brandt:People don't want to spend the money. Some people balk at the $250-$450 class and then expect to do the check outs for free or have their tropical warm water referral ckeck outs included.....These of course, are the "educated" student that also complains of the cost of textbooks for their Masters degree.....yet have no problem paying for expensive cars,rounds of drinks for their friends or a $10,000 cruise vacation.
These are the same people that send there children off to piano, guitar,violin lessons at $75+ per hour but don't want to spend hardly any money to lean a "sport" that can kill you.
I often see people on here rattling off numbers for lds or instructor profit....these people have never owned and ran a dive business and do not think about rent,cost of gear,compressor..or other bills that add up.
Yes there is money in gear but ther is also the internet.......
