Keep up the good work.

I don't know if you have designs of ever striking out on your own but
if you are, approach every thing you do now, as if you were doing for
yourself. This is the best school you could ever hope to find. In
years to come, all the things that  you experiend now will be just
second nature to you and you can direct more of your attention to
running a business.

The one advantage that has totally benefited me is the fact that even
though I had the innate hands on capability and prior schooling in
electronics, I started in this industry in the business end. After I
had all that under my belt, I started my own installation company and
have always had the advantage over others in this trade who mostly
come to it only with installation experience.
