An ol timer asked me this today and has had me thinkin all freakin day.

Forklift Mechanic- Many brands to work on, many makes and models within those brands to diagnose and repair. Along with all those brands think about all the different controll systems to diagnose and repair and do it accurately/effectively the first time. If we screw up, oh well, we work on it again until its right. If someone dedicates thier time and effort over 10 years of being a professional mechanic those individuals are not dumb people and are well educated within the industry.

Doctor- 1 model (human), two makes (male and female), electrical control system pretty much the same between the two and occationally some people got a few wires crossed. Even the plumbing internally is basically the same and if the first doctor cant figure it out thet send you to a specialist. If the doctor screws up four days later someone is having thier grave looked upon but others.

Just food for thought, hope this makes some of you laugh and feel free to leave a comment.
