| Warren
was working as the Placement Coordinator for a college
chain. A student told him about a man who was recycling
computers and wanted to hire some students. Warren contacted
the man who needed help with the EPA, marketing and writing
a business plan. He also wanted to hire some students
for a short time to prepare things for a big bank interested
in recycling a lot of computers.
Warren
charged a $500 advance, which was paid, agreed to a $35/hr
billing rate and gave the man credit against billing hours
for hiring students. Warren contacted the EPA website
and a Tami at the EPA. Warren lined up six students and
worked out hours that fit with the student schedules.
The Letter of Understanding became the Invoices which
detailed what Warren did and gave credit for hiring students.
Prita
(not his real name) took Warren on a tour of two warehouse
facilities he was renting. Stacked outside one were a
hundred or so monitors exposed to the elements. {1st
red flag} Warren told Prita he would have
to get that cleaned up before the EPA would bless his
program. Prita hired six students. The project got off
to a good start. Warren was paid. The students were paid.
Warren completed the EPA initial form, wrote a marketing
flier, started the business plan and made many suggestions.
