I may end up doing something like that, but probably not UHouston, but rather a medical school or something.

Unfortunately gang ,there are "cocky and arrogant" individuals in any ,practice,trade,endeavor or profession.Plumbers with a disagreeble arrogant and surly nature do not last long where I come from.It is highly competitive here in So Cal.You gotta be a "Superstar".Having said that,,,there is also a Code of Honor amongst tradesmen in any town or city.We all know who the good guys and the bad guys are.The bad guys are "disowned" and get put on the blacklist,,,they do not get referals or reccomdations from reputable contractors.We also watch them very carefully and inform our friends at the supply house,,,,do not give these guys credit,do not recomend them,,,they are trouble.We know "The Good,The Bad and the Ugly".But get this,,,good guys tend to hang together and refer each other.They also tend to join credible contractors associations like the PHCC Plumbing Heating and Cooling Contractors Association.Heres a tip ;if you are fortunate enough to identify and hire a good licensed plumber,he will usually know and be able to recommend a good electrician,HVAC man,carpenter,tile setter,painter,concrete and masonry contractor,locksmith,roofer,landscaper,,,you get the picture,,,,Oh Yeah about that business of "plumbers savings lives".Well,,,That is a true statement,,,,that fact is,,,"Plumbers have saved more lives than Doctors,,,,"An old American Standard slogan was "Plumbers Protect the Health of the Nation",,Well,,,Its kinda corny guys but it's TRUE,,,,Why ?

And I hear scheduling things like a doctor appointment can be a pain as an auditor.I definitely do not think tax personnel are just "handed a file" to prepare a return.

I currently work for a very large medical products company as a Project Manager for our Chinese Manufacturing facility.  

It's like if we lived in world where doctors don't refer you to someone else when they don't know how to fix you, they just say "nah sorry buddy you're going to die."

He is a VP at a large consumer office products company and I am a project manager at a Fortune 100 Medical products company.
