Mac,
Hiring employees these days sucks - the majority of new hires want to be paid as much as the owner, don't want to do any work, and don't want to learn Jack S. They feel entitled to be treated like royalty and get upset when they are not.
It is very hard to find good employees these days. Especially in this field which is extremely niche! All you can find is "Yeah man, I can hook all that crap up. No problem". Sure....

We are not running 'Dairy Queens' here. :)
