Originally posted by aldra yeah, you're better off just getting a job with an existing shop, you can use your previous experience to negotiate pay/hours/freedom etc.
This.
eBags, we've discussed this at length over and over.
You're not going to outsource your skills to an existing shop. Shops aren't interested in that because you simply don't have enough skills that shops are looking for, to be honest. You're a screen, battery, and basic OS technician. I'm going to be a bit brutal here, but already established companies can hire anyone to do that almost. They can train them to do it. Your skill sets aren't unique enough to allow for outsourced technicians.
My recommendation? Get hired somewhere. I know you said you've almost exhausted all of the shops in your area, but you need to get hired somewhere and stick with them. Stop quitting the business due to some thing you don't like about it. Everyone has a thing they don't like about their jobs, but you can't quit over it. You need to build solid employment history. Get hired at another shop and stick with them.
If you absolutely refuse to do that, then I suggest you learn new skills. Unique skills that not every shop has. Learn SMD work. Learn microsoldering. Become familiar with iPhone/iPad/MacBook schematics and how to troubleshoot and repair them at the component level. Offer a unique service and then shops might be more apt to use you for their repairs, but if all you offer is screen, battery, and general OS troubleshooting, then they'll just hire somebody. -

"Don't fix what isn't broken", as it goes. However, with eyes on the future, maybe something like IPFS has some merit with the way Web 3.0 is mainstream and how websites are becoming more and more demanding, interactive, etc.

You will get?
It's already bad enough that since you came into the picture, HTS disappeared (ala Kreepyk and Litemex). Now you're going to dictate when he gets back on TC?

2018-06-28 at 5:33 PM UTC in What is the biggest decision you’ve ever had to make?Probably whether to be by my mother's side as she spent her last night in a coma, dying from cancer or comforting my siblings who was having a really hard time processing it and couldn't be by her side...
Or my wife and I quitting our steady and familiar jobs, dumping quite literally every penny of our savings, and maxing out our credit cards to start our business.
Both were difficult decisions to make for different reasons, but those two stand out the most. -

2018-06-17 at 5:22 PM UTC in what is a job that I could get that I could learn woodworking/metalworking skills?Literally walk up on a construction site and ask for the Foreman and then ask if they're hiring. You'll start as a laborer. It's hard work, but if you're a hard worker, truly dedicated to learning the trade, you'll work your way up until someone takes you under their wing. That's literally how it always happens.
Source: I used to be a brick mason prior to opening my electronic repair business. I started out as a laborer, hauling blocks and bricks and shoveling "mud" (mortar). Someone took me under their wing and I began laying the brick. Commercial masonry, mostly, but residential too.
