Finding new techs?

[Mako]

As many copier techs are aging out and beginning to retire. Any suggestions where to find new young techs or trainees?

Look for an IT Tech who wants to expand his opportunities.

Imo the pay for this type of work is not realistic with cost of living or skills needed compared to working other adjacent fields. Why work on copiers for 20 to 30 an hour when you could learn auto repair or pc and make 70+.

It's crazy people don't want to do it. I think it's one of the best kept secrets in the "Trades" ( i know not a trade) Once you understand the basics of a copier -- the job itself is pretty easy. Not to mention the 2-4 hours a day the tech might be traveling, making essentially free money. The pros far outweigh the cons.

Most repair jobs have travel time.It is not fun to drive for hours.If I wanted to do that I would have become a truck driver.8 to 10 hours a day free money!Basics of copiers doesnt cut it today.Most is in that gray area between the printer and the network.Try using basic printer info to repair a machine they send you to fix that you have never seen and dont have a manual.Some thing as simple as taking of the panels becomes a big headache when you dont know where the release latches are.The only good thing today is the machines are more reliable and I spend most of my time make that free money delivering supplies.( and sitting in the office trying to help someone over the phone)
