I'm not saying we don't help others in the field, or keep all we learned to ourselfs, but there are a hundred of things that keep us above all the rest. If three techs left tradeschool, one went highway truck, one went heavy equipment and one went material handling, all making the same amount, who would have to work harder, highway truck and heavy equipment go to shops, have a service manager and parts guys, someone to pick up parts, etc, the material handling guy goes to the customer, gets his own parts, gets yelled at when something isnt right, this is the case for me, and plenty others out there I know. I think another 5 or so bucks an hour is worth for some of the abuse I get.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
