I build and repair computers as a sideline. Like in most industries, if you are GOOD at what you do your position is assured. If you put 50% effort into anything you will get a poor return. The people who are willing to work the hardest will get the best return.
I know there are many people out there in the IT world but not ALL are 100% givers.
Sorry about all the truisms but? Thats waht ya get from OLDIES
