I was looking for a Nintendo 64 controller on craigslist and found a misplaced ad for teaching English in China.
Completely changed the course of my life, I've been traveling ever since.

That complaining issue may be prevalent in all careers like that. I had a coworker that would get so angry over issues at work that it would affect his personal life.
Things aren't perfect at this shop, but I'm learning skills that will make me useful worldwide. And I try to think about that on the days where I'm beating my head against a while trying to program a car key while the customer asks "you think it's gonna work?" every 10 minutes.
haha, those outsider questions are always so funny to hear.
like no matter what job you do, people always have two or three questions that would never be asked by anyone familiar with the profession even for a day, but every single person who has never been a _______ feels compelled to ask.
That's a really good point about your developing skill set too, locksmith seems to be one of those future-proof jobs, knock on wood.
I hadn't thought about that, but I'm glad you brought it up.
