    I've been in manufacturing and marketing in the aerospace industry for small period of time and the rest has been in aerospace procurement. A total of 28 years in the aerospace industry and by far where I work now is the best place.

    It's tough when you work entirely at the whim of musicians. THEY have to decide that they need a tech. Nobody can tell them anything.

    ..and there's 2 things, I've found, that EVERBODY knows.
    One is whatever it is they do for a living..and the other is guitars.EVERYBODY is an expert...no experience required.
    I charge an extra $20.00 for people that start a sentence with " I read on the internet that......"

    Funny... i'm an Architect but have always worked as a Civil Engineer, and for the past 5 months i've been on front of a survey crew.
    Times are tough here in Mexico also... you gotta do what you can.

    I also gain some extra pesos by buying guitar stuff on Ebay and and selling it on the mexican version of Ebay... this is how i get to try out lots of guitar stuff, so it's more of a hobby for me.

    Gretsch Corvette
    Parker P-38
    Yamaha APX500
    Vox Pathfinder 15R
    Vox Tonelab ST
    Blackheart LG
    ... That's it.
