Good luck.
I'm glad you're not a lazy bum/*sshole that doesn't try very hard when you have a family to support. I really despise those types.
And, yes, I worked at a fast food joint (Quiznos) for 2 weeks because, hey, MONEY IS MONEY and when you ain't got not money, you best be workin' any legal way you can. A locksmith is far more respectable than fast food, IMO.
