    I'm 38 and fed up with my current employment (10 years in management in an AV equipment rental house). Someone told me a long time ago that becoming a
    locksmith makes good sense.

    Can anyone suggest the pros and cons of investing the time into learning the
    trade, and is there a good demand for the skill? . and yes I'm interested in
    potential yearly earnings (selfish I know .. but hey).

    Ultimately I would like to open a small shop some where out from the city.
    I personally know few elderly people that are still in locksmith business at 60 at still having a great time doing the job. It is good that you do complete locksmith certifications if you want to become a locksmith.

    I was talking to a guy who mainly does vehicle lock outs and he's been doing it 4 years with hourly and after hours work he supposedly pulled down $72k last year after taxes, does that sound right?
