“The client company is the equivalent or the exact same entity as your customer if you owned a store or business. The difference is they pay the job shop and the job shop pays you. The client companies are the source of the money flow/income. So because you are the type that doesn't bite the hand that feeds them, you will never ever under any circumstances piss off the client company. “

About the Author
D. Byron Wiley was born February 26th, 1962, in the second-largest city in Indiana, Fort Wayne. His parents, Samuel Wiley (Alabama) and La Ruth Peterson-Wiley (Arkansas), were southerners that left the south and moved north to avoid the racist southern influences of the 20th century. The author spent his childhood witnessing great racial divide, and it had a drastic effect on his thinking. His mother raised him to be blind to color and nationality, while his father, a Marcus Garvey-type thinker, taught him to see things in life for what they actually were.
Wiley developed an interest in drafting at an early age. He preferred architecture and still loves architectural design. He attended Indiana State University but never finished his degree because of the family’s finances. Fortunately and due to government regulation on hiring minorities, Wiley was able to get his foot in the engineering door with his drafting background. There, he developed an insatiable interest in design and engineering. He is a self-taught engineer, never having taken any formal courses. He eventually became a consultant engineer in 1988 and began to travel the country. He has designed and helped design product lines in the automotive, appliance, medical, aircraft, and military industries. He has lived in most of the states east of the Mississippi River and quite a few western states.
The Job Shoppe r is a work of Wiley’s experiences and opinions. He shares in detail his personal and professional journey through copious cultures and cities, as seen through his own eyes.
