Tara hasn't even begun to develope skills yet, she is considering learning the trade. If Tara were presented with a noncompete clause and refused to sign, there would be little anyone could do to prevent her from learning to be a technician anyway. She could pursue it like any other newcomer to the trade; join the PTG, attend meetings, buy the source manuals and PACE lessons, acquire her own tools, attend seminars and conventions, and eventually build her own clientele. The knowledge is there for the taking, it is not a rare thing at all. Stacy Adams PTG Associate
