Joinng the PTG is a great idea. Networkng with other techs, befriending other techs,honing ones skills, and having a sense of accountability is so key. I like the idea of "not floundering around on my own out there.." I don't want to be a " a complete unknown like a rolling stone." I like the idea of becoming a part of something, but that's just me. I don't think that if one doesn't hold that title that he/she wil work on old junky pianos for the duration of their career. lol I'm an associate member and I've tuned some great pianos in my short career. I have also tuned some pretty scarey ones too. So that's my take on it. It's not just the title, but acquiring it and growing in it. Just like I have a title as a hsuband and father. I still need to grow in that role. Sure one can hone their skills without joining the PTG or becoming an RPT, but what's wrong with becoming a part of a great organization and teaming up with others and having a great time too? I have RPT on my mind and I'm working on a game plan. I just need to figure out how to get the ball rolling. For me making the connectons and getting with somone or a place where I can practice and hone the skills needed for the test is my number one obstacle to overcome, and I will.
