The paint business is hurting at the moment.
People are too afraid right now with the economy, and painting their house isn't a necessity.
And, paint has risen in price quite a bit in the last few years.
The cost of buying paint and paying someone is just too much for most people, right now.
Plus...I don't imagine Joe being a good painter (yet, at least); so people would probably pick someone with more experience (and the price of painters have dropped since they are all looking for jobs).
Plus, it shouldn't be good for someone his age to be around all the VOCs in paint.
My dad was a painter for decades, he had alot of friends.
Atleast 5 people showed up to his funeral that owned painting companies, and a few of them told me if i ever need a job to call them.
I know how to paint, i can be a good painter.
