not even close. But you do realize almost every plant job pays atleast 20/hour. Add in overtime and most people could easily earn enough to pay for a local college for atleast 1 semester and possibly close to paying for whole year. Get on a TA and work 84 hours a week for the 12 weeks of summer and you easily pay for it.

Good luck finding a plant that's hiring a high schooler/college kid for 12 weeks a year.

wasnt really the arguement though.

Agreed

seen plenty of HS coaches do the bare minimum in both coaching and fundraising. Many others do much better in the coaching department but still suck at fund raising.

Agree to an extent. Any large project fundraising, like a batting cage, weight room, or bigger is going to be a school/community project.

Uniforms, equipment, etc, I'll put on a coach having to hustle. I agree with that.

agree to an extent. But like batting cages, most of the materials can be donated pretty easily if you build them outside. You dont have to have hit trax etc.

weight room, get with other schools in the area, when they upgrade you take what they leave. Or you simply fund raise couple thousand. If you know how to program you dont need a ton of equipment, especially for baseball teams.

2-3 squat stands(not racks), 2-3 cheap benches, medicine balls, barbell, weights, gymnastic rings and pull up bars.

everything else can be made. old tires, homemade sandbags etc. build it slowly overtime and make use of what you can.
