Almost needing the knowledge and logic skills of a rocket scientist and
under $20 a hour, why take all the abuse to be a TV repairman. I will say
however I still have a job and most of my factory worker friends don't or
are working at Home Depot and Lowes. We are now moving into a new era in
jobs. It will take alot more than a highschool diploma to make decent
money in the future. ETC.

I have had meager success in convincing people to bring those projo's in. It
seems that the biggist TV that people are willing to tote is a 32". I don't
see how i can make in home service profitable using "movers" to haul the
monster sets either.
