<WBR>Alan.<br> <br> The reason college know to ask for 30 years experience for a carpenter, is because that is what other colleges are requiring. Most colleges are requiring only 3 years of experience for piano technicians. That's the going rate. Just like the going rate for a head football coaches is $1M per year. One of these days, "they" will figure it out. <br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: reggaepass@aol.com<br> To: caut@ptg.org<br> Sent: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 2:12 pm<br> Subject: Re: [CAUT] Position posting: MTSU School of Music<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_ca54aa98-54c1-468d-b0b9-26c89070d9c3>I was chatting with the institute carpenter the other day.  When he was hired, it was partly because he had the required TWENTY years experience.  Compared to that, the mere three years required by MTSU doesn't seem like much to ask for. <div><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></div> <div>Alan Eder<br> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Scott E.
