    Dear IL'ites,

    Came across this story in NPR the other day. Quite inspiring..

    • When every trash company was running away from New Orleans after Katrina (who wants to clean up the trash after a nasty hurricane?), this man rented a truck started a trash collecting company!
    • Started with 1 truck 3 years ago and has 75 trucks now
    • One would say, "Off all things, Trash!?" He is a millionaire now. There is money to be made in all the hopeless places!
    • Its a 8 minutes video. Good to listen if you have time:)

    That's impressive to hear. For some, fortune lies in Trash!! :)

    Possibly someone here can think of starting a venture like that.

    Cheers

    Now this is a good story that tells how ideas for a business are everywhere. We just need to look for them.

    Hi Kavitha,

    Am not sure if you need to post your request as a separate thread so that it doesn't deviate from the original one.

    Still I am posting my reply here...and possibly the moderators will check it out or the thread owner Jey also will accept this.

    If you have done 'Health & Nutrition' does it include Dietetics too?! Guess it should. In that case, these days Dieticians are in great demand....so why not something on those lines?!

    Cheers
    Jenz
