you're WAY better off getting a job in a restaurant for the summer - yes it can be a good learning experience, but then again, it could be an expensive lesson to learn, given your opportunity cost.
for someone like me who will always stand by their work, i was disgusted by the shit they make you use, paint wise - colour your world, glidden, all those BS paint companies they force on you - absolute junk, for my own houses I only use Behr, the difference in thickness first and foremost is night and day, above and beyond that, 1 coat of Behr covers better than 2 coats of hte piss water they want you to use.
STAY AWAY!!!!! that's my main take away - yes, some ppl will make money, some will make good money at that and do it each and every year - but these kind of people are probably the kind that don't mind doing subpar work and walking away from it - for me, if i'm going to take someone's hard earned money you're damn skippy i'm going to make sure they get value for money
heed my advice, please, don't ruin your first uni summer - you should be enjoying these years, not stressing over deadbeat employee's fuck ups, or bitching clients, or sub par materials - go work for someone else, do a good job, earn good coin, bank it, leave work each day stress free... there's time for starting your own franchise later in life (like 3 years later).... but in uni, just enjoy life

I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!!!
i don't get it, you came here, asked, we all said 'no, it's a scam' - but you did it anyways... now after wasting money and a summer of potential earnings you come back and say EXACTLY what everyone else said?!!?!?!!!
back when i did it, i didn't have anyone to ask (internet wasn't so good 12 years ago) - but FUCK
i'm so annoyed b/c this company got another poor soul to make them money while you made none and this was totally preventable.
my only saving grace is that i am smarter than them (of course i am, i don't rip ppl off through scam painting schemes) and sued them... and won - you DON'T fuck with me... they did, and i was lucky to get enough money from the settlement to make my summer break even (min. wage at number of hrs i worked) - most other ppl won't have that luxury
