Is Locksmithing a dead trade for losers?
Troll O Meter 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 __________________________________________________ _ | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------- ^ | -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "dirtbag" > wrote in message ... I'm a 55 year old mechanical engineer interested in a retirement career to earn a couple of extra bucks. I have always been interested in locksmithing and in fact over the years have learned how lockas work, how to to pick, code and decode cylinders and even pick GM sidebar locks, albeit with variable results. I'm no Hank Spicer!! However, I look at locksmithing in the current times as a dead trade inhabited with lower class people who have little skills, love for the trade but simple people who want to make a buck. I went to a trade show last year (MLNJ) and it was filled with smelly, slimy, moronic people who claimed to be smiths'. Seriously the stench in the convention center was so bad I had to walk outside every 10 minutes or so to get fresh air. I also heard from several of the exhibitors there that many items had been stolen by attendees. Pretty sad. So is this what the trade has become? Toothless, unclean morons in search of a bar of soap? Pretty sad. |

You may need to put some negative numbers on that meter and keep going down <g> -- When I was a child, I remember my Mom telling me, "Son, when you grow up, you can marry any girl you please." When I became a young man, I learned the sad fact was that I could not please any of them. |
