Totally relevant since all that extra time needs to be paid for or people wouldn't go into the business.

  Irrelevant, since people are in window washing services despite the low pay. Reasons for huge commissions: 1. Restricted field: you need a license, and in general these kinds of licenses are difficult enough to get to create artificial scarcity. -> seek employment in such a field, if you think you can get in. 2. High stakes: A lot of money is moved around so it doesn't hurt so bad to give an important service provider a large chunk. -> seek work where the money is. -> when dealing with Realtors etc., try and negotiate over the price anyway, just out of principle. 3. There is probably more to this profession than is visible from the outside. I don't know what, but usually people underestimate the complexities of professions they don't know much about. -> ...? Maybe talk to Realtors and find out what it is like.
