text: do you think the word handyman is a deadbeat, drugi, drinker and some one who has no job and cant keep one? i am a smart person i can fix anything build anything and very street wise , kind and well liked by customers. how ever i get this self feeling as i am just this nice 51 year old who peaple like but know i am just a handyman. i have a very strong background in business working for dupont, fuji film and used to get high respect from eveyone. not necessarily. handyman could be considered uneducated vagrant who's good with tools. i'm a pretty decent handyman and am also a mortgage broker. people know me as a broker who's good at fixing things. it's all how people perceive you.
