To shakespaire01, I graduated from a trade school in 88, and i knew my stuff. Like most graduates i then looked for a job in the industry. I sent out a resume, this company They called me in for an interview, the job was for a service tech job,all of a sudden that job was taken, they offered me a job as a installer paying less, i jumped on it, the the mood then, became i don't see how a man can make a living at $10 an hour. Once they saw my skin color, the interview was over in ten minutes.

@1960views 460 480, voltages vary! Get out of the books and taste real life, and stop annoying me. You don't get it and probably never will. Wo are you to judge? I have NOTHING to prove to you! I know intelligent people will get my point, consider the facts, and understand what I was referring to in the first place. If I have had to endure that of which I speak, that means that I am not unique and others have had to suffer the consequences too! I SPEAK IN DEFENSE OF THEM! 43 YRS EXPERIENCE. You?
