I have attended industry school when available, but much of the equipment I deal with is undocumented and orphaned. Every day is a challenge to figure out how machinery is put together, and what can be done to counteract operator destruction and make it live again. I think that my ability to appreciate and communicate with the workers in a business is more important and satisfying than fixing machinery. My greatest accomplishment is probably avoiding death on the highway.
