Exactly jd, that's why it comes down to individual needs and worth. If u don't think its worth it don't do it. But that doesn't mean there isn't good fair people doing it, and they have a value or they wouldn't have any business.
Exactly. To use the example of IT consulting, there are plenty of broke college kids and hacks who charge $20, $30, $50 an hour and get plenty of work. But they aren't repeat customers, and when they are, they expect the next set of work for cheap or free. Everybody in the IT business knows what happens when you offer your services for cheap or free -- suddenly you have a hundred people who expect you to be their on-call computer technician because they paid you a hundred bucks one time for a few hours of work.
As you said, it's either worth your time or it isn't. If I were consulting on a big show I would be asking for an awful lot more than $100/hr...lol

I do not have a sliding ASSHOLE scale. ALL customers are treating with respect and patience. Many are very upset when they seek my assistance and so patience and calm are key.
Reading your admission of how you intentionally cause Patients harm because you don't like them is very disturbing and lends no credence to your argument regarding how anybody else should treat patients.
THIS -- holy crap, that's terrifying and disgusting at the same time. Good thing that DAT is obviously just having a pipe dream hallucination or compulsively lying about being in the medical field or I would be really concerned.

KUDOS. Most of the naysayers have never made the kind of money, or put in the INCREDIBLE amount of time acquiring certifications to make that kind of money.
To be honest, I'm self-taught with nothing but a Cisco cert...I am actually in the real estate business for my career, consulting is a side gig...I could never hack it full time. I agree though, the real IT pros have put an insane amount of work in to get where they are.
growing dope aint hard ..anyone in the horticulture industry can do it... my greenhouse management ,soil,ipm.irrigation ect all carry over to mj or any other plant for that matter...if you got the basics down fine tuning it is a breeze..

The basic debate is that $100 per hour is too much for a consultant on growing marijuana. There does seem to de a divide though with some saying it's too much across the board and others saying it's too much for individual med patients wanting to know how to grow but otherwise it's okay for larger ops looking to profit off of growing.
I myself tend to fall into that later category because I'm seeing the medical patient just wanting to learn how to grow their own medicine as someone who isn't able to offset the cost of the consult because of the increased profits they'll make since they're not looking to profit but rather to save by growing their own. Conversely a large scale operation is likely in it for the profits and so I see no harm in charging a premium rate for teaching someone how to double or triple their profits.
There are lots of Cisco certifications some are virtually worthless whereas others pretty much guarantee you a 6 figure salary. Many wrongly misread Cisco Certified as being worth big bucks because they know Cisco is a big Player in the IT industry.

Certifications tend to work within a framework. Some only lend themselves to certain periphery aspects while others are comprehensive and thus worth the big bucks.
I recently tossed the ton of 800 page study guides I had utilized to achieve a multitude of certifications over the years.
I consulted in the IT arena my entire career never accepting a permanent gig. When the tech bubble burst I started my own IT service business.
Years ago I slung weed, but I didn't put my own money into it. I got it on the front and smoked for free. I made a little profit, but mostly just free smoke. I started growing a long time ago because it was better than the average stuff going around, and I won't pay high dollar for good kind.
When I was pulling good amounts, I ended up giving away what I didn't smoke. I knew a few people that had an honest need, but didn't have the resources to purchase quality product. Every now and then I'd sell a little for cheap to buy ferts or maybe a bulb, but I probably never sold it for more than half of what other folks sold lesser quality stuff.
