Title: My father has been working as a networking engineer for almost 40 years. He is exceptional at what he does.  The problem is we live in a country, where things like perfection, attention to detail mean nothing.  Also he is old, which is a big problem for most employers.  3 years ago he quit his job, because the owner of the company  hadn&#x27;t payed him for 7 months. My father didn&#x27;t care for 5 months, continued doing his job, as if he was getting payed twice as much. After 7 months passed he brought the project to an end and the firm maid a substantial amount of money because of his work. He then resigned. My Dad didn&#x27;t care if he wasn&#x27;t getting payed, his work matters most to him and he proved it. It pains me to see him today (3 years later), still searching for jobs and going crazy, because he can&#x27;t do what he loves the most. He started developing projects on his own, yet no one want to invest, because of the situation in our country(riots).
This has had quite the impact on our family in all the ways you can imagine. 
I tried talking to him, yet he has grown distant and bitter. I&#x27;m loosing my father.  He is in dire need of a job and i feel helpless.
