ive been in the industry for about a year. it is challenging. there is some thing new all the time. ive been mainly focused on automotive. there is always an opportunity for advancement. but advancement is in what you know and finding better solutions to existing problems. this year i will be doing more comercial and residential work. if there is any time i hope to get certified in electronic entry. and i would like to learn safe work. the money is good if you work hard and like people (which is the hardest thing about locksmithing). this is a career, not a job. every thing about locksmithing keeps me at it. its a pain to wake up in the middle of the night and going into bad neighborhoods. but i find the grind of an office job to be an inquisition.
