are you insane. In the 70's they were just a basically just a failing cloth manufacture and candy company.

These are generally the pieces of a business an owner/ceo will be most held accountable for. Legal, bookkeeping, and many other functions grow from these core pieces and most professionals won't even talk to you until you have a profit generating business b/c they know there is very little they can offer you even in guidance. Even as a wageslave the more responsibility you take in these particular cogs in the business, the more compensation you can demand.
