"As far as the industry outlook goes, at this point ours is a growing and
maturing industry," says MaryScott Tuck. She is the training coordinator for
the American Moving and Storage Association.
"There will always be people needing to relocate, thus always a need for
moving and storage companies. As the market diversifies, expands and matures,
there will always be a need for new ideas and new infusions of people at all
levels from packers to the executive suites."
It's possible to make a good living in this field.
