RE: Need a Job? Stop Complaining About What's Available and Invent Your Own!

in #life8 years ago

For over Thirty years I did Appliance repair. When I first started , I would go to a home, fix a machine and leave a hero. As time passed and the quality of machines degraded, I would leave a home after fixing a machine, I would pray the machine would stay working and I wouldn't hear from the customer the next day. I grew to hate the job. So I retired and opened a rock and fossil shop. I've been at it for five years now and loving every minute of it. Far less stress and I may live a few years longer. :-)

Good for you! Yeah, I'm a carpenter by trade, and I started noticing a few years back that most younger techs and tradesmen are not good problem solvers. They want to tear stuff out and replace it, that's about it.
