Looking around for work during this pandemic year has made things a little difficult. During the Obama administration corporate censorship took down every place I posted including one site where I earned $200 monthly writing essays. I had work until the end of February 2020 when I was forced to leave (though the state of Montana U.I. people said I voluntarily quit and never paid a dollar in benefits and saud apparently I would need to pay a penalty of about $1000 dollars to be eligible for an unemployment check.
Incidentally I will post a resume below in case anyone has actual work.
I was learning to be a dental lab technician for a year and a half and was getting very good at making models from impressions, cutting out dies and so forth. So I hoped to be able to find work in that area and continue learning how to reline dentures commercially. I had repainted homes and other building exteriors on and off for the better part of a half century yet am hoping to transition to something else. Ladders are tough on older knees-especially without any Medicare part B. I suppose I would still have some accuracy with select military skills however I am too old for military work to qualify.
Riding a bike around the city I am in I checked out eight dental labs listed as working in the spring and discovered that all except two are out of business. The thing is dentists are Fedex-ing packages to labs in China that make products far cheaper than in the U.S.A. There may be just 3000 dental labs remaining in the U.S.A. and they are fading rather fast especially with internet digital sata transfering scans of patients directly to China. Many dentists have invested as partners in their own labs in China cutting out American workers.
