    I rate 5A on the Norwood scale. Decent degree? I've a fresh BA in Business. But no one is hiring 48 yr olds whom are new to the field.

    $10/hour converts to appox 8.2 Euros. 'Second job'? Believe me, anyone mired in this Dickensian income strata has long since taken a second job. (Both are not much cop) 'Anything to sell?' Only my bitter anglophobic wit.

    The last post had my moniker in the title slot. A newbie mistake...

    At $10 an hour after taxes you're not even bringing home 20 grand a year. Find a better job, go back to school, do whatever it takes to improve your economic situation and then, maybe, think about getting an HT. An HT can be a good thing but it can also be a disaster. If you're not financially prepared for more surgery t. So I went back to school and earned a BA (seven yrs of part-time) Now I make ten an hour, not eight! Ta-da! We've middle aged people with masters degrees doing substitute work at the local school for seventy bucks a day & no benefits. Just the tab for one of the Big Three I find excessive.:mad: (And I assume they work best on someone in an earlier stage of hair loss...) What a depressing post! I would drink myself blind if I could afford it.

    Transplants tales bandied about here discuss graphs (sp?) ranging from four to eight bucks per. Say $5.00 per in my case. With me requiring at least four thousand, that's a whopping twenty grand. Name a bank that will loan even half that amount to someone at my income level. Credit cards? Put 15K on a card with 14-17% interest along with a loan for five grand? How long to pay off at ten bucks an hour. Tell me, please!, that the vast majority of those that got surgery didn't pay that way! My point is this is a forum for the nouveau riche.

    Are all of the post surgery forum members in the upper 15% of the income strata? After gobs of research, I fail to see how the working class or the middle class afford hair restoration via surgery. Are there that many rich folk posting here? :confused: Consultations with the Bosley people in New York and a private surgeon in Ontario reveal that my baldness would take appox 4000 grafts at five bucks per. That's a staggeringly amount of $$. :eek: I make ten bucks an hour.
