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."

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. 
  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...
