It’s been about 6 years now since I’ve worked as a professional technician. In that time I saw a lot of changes. In the beginning, in the late 90’s, it was awesome. It was my first job working flat rate and I ended up doing pretty well. In fact, I was able to buy a house and start a real-estate business because of that income. Things changed however as they often do and one thing led to another. Before I knew it, I was on a different path. A path that’s led me here. Honestly I have no regrets. I hope you’re entertained by my little dialog and perhaps you have some of your own experiences to throw into the mix. Comments welcome both here at at the discussion link below.
Thanks for watching.
