A Hobbie turned more.

This is the old Locksmith business info area and will be broken down to fill in the new sections below.

Well I have been spending alot of my time picking locks and my boss has pinned a few locks for me and such well now this hobbie of mine is turning in to more... My boss has got the componey to put me though there locksmith couse... I have been called to open locks by sevrel diffrent sites in are compony. and have to come across one that i could not open given time and tools.. I did have to drill out one deadbolt but i still got the door open..
I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.

Good for you man!

Its a great feeling, doing work for other people as opposed for just your own hobby. Good that you can apply it to your current job, and that THEY'RE puttting you through a locksith course.
