Is live so difficult?

Since January 2006 I was thinking; Paul if you finally have the work permit everything is oke. Starting to get a job in my own profession should be easy with a resume I have, WRONG! Since 1st January 2006 Electricians need a license for the State of California. Other thing is that I need a letter from at least one of the Dutch Installers what I did all these years so I can get an American License. I didn't hear the excuses since Nine Eleven but I am not surprised anymore. Maybe it's better to work at a company where I have fun without all this Bullshit!
