After Being in the Glass Bizz for 17 years - I am done

Boy did I make a career change..... LOL

I decided that I am tired of running the roads and fighting with people in my area that are doing repairs for $20.00. Did a lot of research online looking for something internet based that I could do from home. I am here to tell you guys... There is more to life than smelling like resin every night.

I hear ya, Jeff. The trouble is, after a few years in any business you get the feeling of burn out. I was a desk jockey in management for 25 years and it got to me to the point of making me sick. I have been doing w/s repair for 7 years now and I still love it. There are times where people get me down because of their attitude but those same people are in all walks of life.

I also have a small business that is not related to w/s repair at all and it helps to keep my mind sharp in other areas.

Good luck to you in your new adventures!

Thank ya sir .... I have found my niche and doing STUPID well with it.

I owned a full service glass shop for 9 years and repair only for 5. Not burnt out just tired of seeing profits being eroded.

Before that I worked for PPG.

I do stupid well with glass repair and after 21 years I still enjoy the challenges it brings, also I do PDR and run a training centre for both skills this gives me variety.
