In case this IT situation goes pear shaped, looking at alternatives. How does one become a haberdasher and are there career growth opportunities out there? Can you make a liable middle-class life from it? How does one start?

I've been a haberdasher for 20 years selling custom made clothing to men throughout the U.S. and you sure can make a living at this business. You just ned to find someone willing to teach you the business and you MUST be a good salesman and willing to do a lot of cold calling and take a lot of rejection for the first 2-5 years. If you go to work for one of the large companies they'll work your ass off and you will not make much money compared to being on your own.
Good Luck,

Sean McKee Clothiers – For Those Who Demand The Best

The way you dress speaks volumes about who you are. A perfectly cut suit, using the finest fabrics in the world, will give you a confidence and aura that few can match. You’ll turn heads, command respect, and look damn good while you’re doing it.
For over 20 years, master haberdasher and world-class clothier Sean McKee has been helping business leaders and producers to look and feel their absolute best. He competes against the finest tailor houses of New York City and London, and uses only name brand materials of the highest quality.
A man simply doesn’t last over two decades as a professional clothier without being able to deliver exceptional results to clients. When you work with Sean, you get an unparalleled expert in the garment business. He has clients across the country, from Chicago to Washington D.C., New York to San Francisco, all calling him when only the best will do.
To be clear, Sean isn’t for everyone. He doesn’t compete with big box retailers, and he doesn’t pander to the arrogant. If you normally buy suits during a 2 for 1 sale, Sean probably won’t be a good fit for you. And if you aren’t open to expert advice, please don’t call.
If, however, you are looking for a made-to-measure, custom-fit suit of the same quality as the world’s finest tailor houses, get in touch with Sean today. He can provide you better pricing and more personalized service than any of the larger clothier companies.
