,,-....,special list in the back room. Prof-
itability requires sound deci-
sions.
A technician, by nature, tends to
be the rugged individualist who
is self sufficient.
Do YA LIKE IT?
For the amount of training, skill,
experience, and commitment re-
quired, an electronic technician's
job doesn't pay very well.
The problem is that he doesn't
make money in that mode, and to
be honest doesn't get much fixed
either. Back to 'mental disci-
pline!'
Yet it is still a career of choice for
many people because they like
the work, the variety, and the
challenge. Since I'm doing what I
like, I want to do it as well as
possible, with the greatest level
of efficiency.
IN CONCLUSION
Often I have to forcibly remind
myself of that fact when I am
tempted to bury myself in a job I
should either pass on or get help
with. That is the time to enforce
~procedure!
The road to profitability is not
easy. It is said that a business
that is not required to make
money won't. Neither will a tech.

Hopefully, discipline will one day
translate into a well paying job.
In the mean time, repair is a wor-
thy challenge, worth doing well.
This problem has happened on no
less than 5 Leland Super Off
Roads in the past 3 weeks! Left
half (right down the middle) is
darker, out of focus and has
waves in the picture, the right
half is crystal clear.
Fix that critter!
