Probably most of them because no one in their right mind would knowingly hire a JW, especially an elder.

I have seen one witless (technically not a hounder, but he was the slimebag that dragged me in, and has many of the characteristics that most hounders have) that was frequently changing jobs. He would work as a maintenance person a while, then go to washing dishes, and then cleaning. He had cleaning accounts on the side (which rarely worked out, because he couldn't find and retain any help). Of course, he has also been fired for stupid things, usually things like deliberately disrupting business because of having to work alone one night because of a sick call.

Tired of the Hypocrisy
I know an elder who was an administrator for a elder-care/convelescent home who was fired and became a self employed blanket seller.

In our old hall most of the elders were self employed
a contractor
Carpet layer
Wallpaper/painter
window washer
cleaning business owner
Garbage Disposal owner
Floor waxing ,buffing
They all seem to be pretty well off ......I think they get some good tax breaks for owning their own businesses and being "clergy"
