yeah, it's getting pretty huge in N. America, especially with the recent hurricanes...but see, i'm from Canada, and i just started in the business, and our supplies come from China and we're selling into the Cdn/US markets to provide them with woods/plywoods to build homes and etc...so yeah, the market is there, but with me being so green...it's a little difficult at the moment to tackle the market...but i hope this upcoming year will be good...since i dont even know when your president will decide to begin rebuilding New Orleans...

No. They just work for each finalist to help them on their final task. The only one on the show that gets a salary is the winner.

Seems like the CLS is a favorite to pilots! Nice!
I really wish the process to become a pilot was not so hard, and even at the end it seems like I am not guaranteed a job with an airline. I just don't know if I can go threw flying regional jets making 25k a year and not ever knowing if an airline will hire me!

Just Kidding...

Dialogue from one of my jobs:
"Restore from Backup."
"We don't have a backup."
"Well then I guess it sucks to be you, doesn't it?"
"Click your right mouse button"
"I don't have a right mouse button"
"Click the right-hand side button on your mouse"
"Oh...I thought that you meant one of the buttons on another mouse -- I only have one"
"Go to 'my computer'"
"But I'm at my computer"
"OK, go to 'your computer'"
"I'm at my computer"
"OK, click on my computer"
"Where's that?"
I stayed at that job for 2 years.....

I'm not a plaintiff's ***** if that is what you are asking. Most docs genuinely do their best to ensure that patients get the best possible care and are advocates for their patients despite constraints from hospitals and insurance companies. I put MY reputation on the line and defend these folks all the time.
There are less than capable 'doctors' who misrepresent our profession by practicing sloppy medicine or attempting to perform tasks out of the scope of their training. They make our profession look moronic or greedy (respectively) and I have no problem testifying against them.
These folks represent an extremely small percentage of the physician population and my record reflects that. If you are in practice or have been, you know who these folks are.
