Sounds poor

Branch Manager of what?

Young Entrepreneurs Across America and/or Student Painters?

Is that a blue collar version of Teach America?

I know a student thinking about becoming a branch manager.

Knew a guy who was the branch manager of one of those banks in a grocery store. Doubt he was pulling down the same cash as a real bank manager.

I'm looking to join the local Engineers without Borders Chapter, but it's full of academia types who have no idea how to design working, real-world designs.

The last project I heard they were working on was trying to bring fresh water to some coastal African town. They currently carried it from another town that has a freshwater pipeline.

I have no idea about these organizations. Typically these kind of things will work naive students to death for an effective wage less than minimum wage though.

I looked into this out of curiosity. It seems as they have branch managers who try attract business and then other students who just paint. The organization will take a huge cut. Just have the kid start his own business rather than have some useless "training" company take his money.

Try money talk, they might have better answers

I don't remember the name of the company but the summer after my freshman year of college I worked with one of these outfits.

A friend of a friend was the "boss" and he would supervise the site and drum up new business. Three of us would paint the trim around windows, doors, and roofs. None of us had any experience but learned on the job pretty quick.

We got paid on time but the boss quit finding new business and drank beers at the pool with college girls all day while we painted. We were pissed when we found out he was playing grabass while we were sweating our balls off in the NC heat painting houses. The operation folded soon after.

If the student you know is money hungry and a hard worker I'd recommend Southwest Advantage, the book selling company that recruits on college campuses.
