I'm curious about the unannounced needs or demands in industry for I have achieved all that has been evidently obvious

I began performing commercial and industrial electrical work in 1977 this turned into owning my own business building OEM control cabinets and writing the programs for them, I conducted business regularly with three world wide companys my point is that I started in a ditch I ended up with a PC which defines to me that that is a vast range of experience including two technal colleges, and of course all the training between PLC,VFD,Management,health and safty, you know all of it but yet if industry doesn't need any employees then why don't they allow me to automate and write them a program to accomplish that HUH!

sounds like you've got a place like I use to work at called Machine Drive Co. they would only use me as a subcontractor when they were buried, for a year n half.Need more shops like that around Hamilton,OH
