Close up of a money puzzle

Today it was time for my annual trip to the DMV. Since I have a diesel truck I am still required by the state to get it smogged every year. What fun I get to have keeping the smog reader company in business. As I sat in the waiting room it seemed that they rolled a truck through there every ten minutes and charged each of us fifty dollars. That is three hundred dollars and hour and I know they are busy all day every day because I had to schedule the appointment and it took a week for them to have an opening for me. Then I get to go to the DMV where I get the privilege of spending another one hundred and fifty dollars to register a fifteen year old truck. I again am not the only one in line so if I tried to do the math figuring an average cost per person I would say that the state is also not hurting in the dollars category. What I can’t figure out is how to get into this business. Someone is making a ton of money and it is definitely not me. Look. I am not trying to be filthy rich I just would like to be comfortable and by comfortable the meaning is always, no matter how much you have, it is a little more.
