I would be interested as to why more are not coming into our industry, and what we could do to make it more appealing.
I worked in car dealers and indepenent garages many years ago, and after I got a taste for working on equipment, I would never go back to automotive.
We have been able to get some Techs from other dealers who wanted to make a change, but they have been in it a good while. We brought in a young guy who used to be in aviation, He turned into a real good Roadtech.
I know some guys who used to be " inhouse" Techs for manufacturing plants that took a shot at it, but got out of it because they did'nt like dealing with customers and paperwork.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
