How Long Servicing Office Equipment

[Guest]

13 long, insufferable years until I was laid off. Ended up getting a much better job in IT, so I can't complain. I still work on printers and MFPs as a part of my IT job though. Never really minded working on copiers, it was the shady business practices of the dealership and the occasional customers who treated me like I was the janitor that made the job suck. I guess driving all day kinda sucked, too.

Just hit 30 years in February, and still going strong.

It looks like I fell woefully short on my plan to retire by age 50.

It's just amazing to see how much and how quickly this industry changes - almost daily.

Started in 1988, there were no middle aged or old engineers then.

Yes there must be, but in my case, after neally 40 years, is it too late to change.

4 years here. I was unemployed a while back and whilst deciding which job I want to work in I went and applied for office clerk positions. Luckily, my current boss was the one who took me as a trainee and he quickly found out that Im really good at IT-related jobs and networking, and thats how I found my way into the industry...

However, I only know the fundamentals of the technical side of copiers, but I am very proficient with the connectivity related to them

10 years now, started as delivery person then a position as tech became available and I was asked if I wanted to do it. I am now the service manager. I see that most people here have been doing this for a long time, so you actually CAN make a living doing this? Maybe I work for the wrong people
