With the forklift industry on its ****,and the amount of engineers that are going to be knocking around,I can't see any money in the job in the future.
We are mostly underpaid highly skilled people but the industry seems to be falling behind other industries with pay and conditions,My feelings are that good engineers will move out of this game and look for new carears,this is what i am thinking of doing and brushing up on my skills with a couple of colleage courses ready to hopefully make my move.
Where do you lot think the forklift industry will be going after things pick up again?
Cheers
