Reply to "Need ideas on how to make a living working on trains."

Self-employment and the basic 15.3% Social Security payment needs to be considered. Yes, that is double the deduction, you would see from your pay check, each week.    What seems like a good charge-out rate of $50 per hour, may need to be $75, when you include the cost of health insurance and social security.   A lot to consider.  Self-employment is not for everyone. IMO,   Mike CT. 

$75/hr. may not be enough.  Often hourly rates are translated into piece, or part work.  

Collection another part of business to be considered.
