Sadly i think you are correct, we are a dying breed.

I see a lot of similar posts on other forums and social media. A lot of techs appear to be changing over to hgv, agricultural, plant or stacker trucks etc as they all seem to pay a lot more and they do not appear to have to put up with the same ridiculous bonus schemes to earn a decent wage. They also just want the job done once and done correctly instead of wanting it doing to a fixed menu price irrespective of any problems emcounted.

I have often wondered why a salesman gets paid more than a tech and usually has a company car aswell.
