  I became RPT when I was 23 and felt the same way - I was the youngest =
guy at the PTG convention in 1972. But one day I was tuning a piano and =
the client's 16-year-old son sat down to watch. We started to talk. =
During the conversation he told me that I was "over the hill."=20

  Little did he know how many more hills there were to come...

    Whatever the actual median age is, people (customers) seem to expect =
that a Piano technician is a certain age.  I am 24 and I am constantly =
told that "you are the youngest piano technician I have ever met..."  =
This usaully makes me wonder just how many piano technicians they have =
really met to hold such expectations.=20
      I think it works against me to a certain degree.  I get the sense =
sometimes that when I make recomendations, I am not taken as seriously =
because of my perceieved lack of experience.  Oh well, maybe I should =
gain 20 pounds and grow a beard...=20
