Good for you Phil. I like this trend, if about 20,000 more find good jobs outside consumer electronics, there may enough work to support one of us. That is if we work 23 hours a day. My problem isn't so much a lack of work as a lack of profitable work. It seems as though the things coming in now, are never straight forward repairs. They look like it at estimate time with something like a bad flyback and shorted HOT. Then after putting those in, you find you are going to have to dance with this partner for a few more hours over several weeks to find everything else that's wrong. Those beauties were always with us, but they were a small percentage of the total. Now they seem to be becoming a very significant part of the total. I don't need to make a lot because I only need a little to supplement my Social Security, but when it looks more like my SS is subsidizing my TV shop, I don't like it much.
