Sometimes the quirks of life create interesting avenues that would most likely not have been taken otherwise.I paralysed my left arm in a motorcycle accident in 1986, and due to this, I found that even though I had written my Fitting and Turning exams, I could not get become an apprentice and in turn I could not write the official Trade Tests.The reason being that I did not fit into any large companies insurance bracket. What a joke. In other words I was an insurance risk.This led me on the path of being primarily self employed, and I am actually glad that is the way it turned out.I am more self sufficient in so many ways than I would have been if the 'normal' routes were open to me.I started trading live Foreign Exchange in 2008, and I am finally starting to make a profit. It was in fact far more difficult than I expected, but I have become pretty fluent in the tricks of the trade.Here is some of the stuff I do.Welding, Auto Electrical, Pneumatics, Hydraulics, Fitting and Turning, Tool and Die Making, Machinery Design, Shopfitting, Tiling, Joinery, Management Consulting, Faultfinding.All trades are basically the same, just the individual ingredients vary.Many might not realise that Computer Programming is almost exactly the same as Tool and Die Making which is the same as Cabinet Making or Accounting or If Occam's Razor is your primary focus, then by pruning off all the excess processes or parts leaves you with the core that is solid and efficient.Specialties: Seeing the blockages and obstacles in a system, situation or setup is a gift I have.If you wish to find out why something is not working properly, or fast enough, I can see it.If you have something you have tried to accomplish and all others have failed. I can do it.
