Look; i'm not an auto tech but have been a forklift field tech for over 35 years so as much as I dislike working on autos and in defense of the auto tech; auto's also have the "big four" including electrics, computers etc... It's unfortunate the way the world is today but "it is what it is" so to speak. The easy way seems to be the way the younger generations want it; we as the "the older generation" let it happen. To improve everyone needs to work hard to achieve their goals; but today everyone seems to want it all and they want it all NOW! It seems they believe they deserve it. What happened to "working your way up" I to was self taught; but if I see a young mechanic having issues with a job; I offer assistance and most of the time it's appreciated and if it's not than I have learned something. If we are really concerned with the future of forklfit tech's then maybe as the older generation of tech's we should lobby for the cause at every opporunity
