I'm not a tech, so not directly in that "Biz". but from what I can say for the techs around my area, they seem fairly young. Both the local Jungheinrich Techs are in their mid 30's. Toyota MH which is our main service provider, since they have their shop quite literraly just up the road, Has one lead tech who is in his 50's, with a handful of techs I guess holding around just 30. with an added bonus of a not displeasuring to the eye, female. (I know that sounds sexist, but, at least here, females in technical fields are nigh on inexistant, and usually of the more butch kind)

Admittenly though, the lead tech seems to be the only one that takes interest in what you have to say.. the others just seem to focus on what they've been called in for, and get that fixed, anything aditional, or inquiries on potential problems I may have with other units, seems like a burden to them.

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.
