What type of house keeping pays the most?

None of them Pay more than the other ones to be Honest. If you work for a company then the Rates are all comparable. If you work for yourself, You need to be licensed and Bonded. So whie you have bigger checks coming in, you also have bigger checks going out. Its normaly the Benefits that make the difference. I would stick with a company as Workers Comp, Health Insurance and 401k options tip the balance for me.
