Hiya,
My name is Jay. I currently own 1 completely broken down dead bolt, 2 opened padlocks and try to pick and take apart ever lock in my house. So I guess I am just a newbie at this. But I am seriously considering trying to go into locksmithing. It's either that or try for firefighting. I am definatly leaning toward locksmithing though. Anyone have any sugestions as how to get hired on as an apprentice of some such thing like that? There is a locksmith in my little home town, I am going to try and get on with him but if that fails I dunno what to do. Hmmm. Any sugestions? Well I'll see you on the forums. -Jay
