Got out of a phone call. Pole climber needed in Germany. Perfect fit. Brazilian passport holder? uhm a bit difficult.

See, as the economies of Europe and US hollowed out, the opportunities for the people to acquire the skills equired thinned out.

Thus they now need top thrown the net far and wide to get people to do some work for them.

In ten years they will lack a lot of skills as the old people are retired. I can see the people for the emerging markets having the skills, since they have been building things for the past 20 years, and the developed countries lacking skilled people.

I'm more American than the Americans, More German than the Germans and more British than the British.

I'm more American than the Americans:
I believe in the man helping himself and booting strap himself by sheer will power.
I believe the self made man is entitled to take all profits fruit of his hard work.
I believe the man must think for himself and not be slave of someone else thoughts.

I'm more German than the Germans:
I am punctual.
I don't like bull shit.
I am direct to the point.
I am blunt
Lack diplomacy
Do not leave to others to do the work I am paid to do
I pinch pennies.

I'm more British than the British
I believe in the Common Law
I don't take what does not belong to me
I respect the people who know more than I do
I am grateful for people who taught me what I know
I don't spit in the plate I ate
