special ed locksmith

Do you mean Special Ed as in vo-tech training? If so, that depends on what your own local school system offers.

If you mean specialized education: Yes. A lot of it, ongoing throughout your career. Textbooks, classes, seminiars, trade journals... And yes, that's an ongoing cost of doing business.

I first read this as "small yellow bus" special ed.

:)

There are many sources of training. The field includes a lot more than just lockas and keys. It's possible to learn a lot through books and the internet, but hands-on is essential. I bought over $500 in tools and parts so I could teach myself the basics.

I think all locksmiths were in "Special ED".

Quick reminder that "special ed" does not necessarily mean "low intelligence"; it may simply mean the kid needs help with a particular learning disability. My full-time job is at IBM Research. I'm an MIT grad. I was also in special ed for several years, until one particular teacher helped me find the key to overcome my near-total writing block.

You're feeding it.

That was my one and only post on the subject, since it was something I felt had to be said. Killfiling now.
