Default Re: First time on Forum

When I first cut my teeth on windshields, going to a forum was the last thing on my mind.. I learned the old fashioned way, get out and do it. Sure, these type forums are helpful. To an extent. But, I feel they do just as much harm as good. Take a look around you.. Go ahead.. Kids today, do not have the drive, or the will to learn anything on their own.. My proof is. When we were kids, did we have computers, ipods, mp3 players, any electronic games? No... We learned to make due with what we had.. We had creativity, we could make a game out of anything. Especially outdoors.. Peeps today, lack their own creativity and the desire to make it work. Ok, maybe not all of them.. But, so many times the SEARCH function is to difficult for them to understand. So, they post another beat down wore out question, and get all butt hurt when we tell it like it is.. Hey, anybody.. Name one magazine that advertises "you can make $100,000 a year doing windshield repair".. Now, name the magazine that will back that up in writing with a guarantee.. Yeah, thought so.. You can make $100k doing anything if you pour your heart and soul into it and work it like there is no tomorrow. Am I harsh, to the newbies, yes, sometimes I am... I admit it, but I too have seen way too many half arsed repairs because they learned from asking 20 questions on the internet instead of getting training and practicing on their own.. And, I'm not bustin on this kid but its going to sound that way. If you had $800 in your pocket do you rush out and buy the first deal you find in the price range or do you research it to see if it will fit your needs and find one that does... Even with the internet, it seems more and more people get lazier and think if they can spell windshield correctly they should get the $100k paycheck.. So, Screenman. Hey, its all good.. Don't sweat it.
