At least they require an RPT status.That's good! Looks like a lot of travel time to get to towns with pianos, however, since this is only 20 hour/week job. Benefits are good, also a very important good thing. Might be good for a new RPT in that area willing to drive a bunch to make a living... Lake Oboboji area will have some pianos....as well as other towns, but miles will be driven..... We just went to Lake Okoboji for some vacation time, but, towns are few and far between there, and UNI looks like about 2 hours away. Just for fun, I looked in the yellow pages for L.O, and there were ZERO Piano Techs! Lots of money there, so there are sure to be some pianos! Perhaps, with a 40-50mpg car, one could make a bunch of $$ if willing to drive a bunch....Been there, done that! No thanks! Lake Okoboji is, btw a great place to hang out! I even got brave enough to parasail! Loved it! Paul From: "Scott E.
