<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I consider myself as young because =
I'm 22 years
old, I began learning tuning when I was 16, and started my =
apprenticeship at
18.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is very interesting, because as =
far as I
remember, in France, people over 65 don't tune any more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>People seem to work longer in the US =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If we were to count the average age =
of french
technicians, I think this could be around 40-45 !! but people stop =
working
when they are 60 or 65, in general.</FONT></DIV>
