    Technician is a level above trade, not below, in terms of qualifications. The trouble is that in the never ending chase for a title commensurate with their perceived abilities, the lines have been blurred somewhat by employees by their incorrect use of titles and also by employers wanting to church up their staff titles for customer perceptions of added value.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless.

    The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    You're not wrong. I'm an automotive machinist by trade but after a couple of fairly simple courses I was dubbed (and tagged) a technician. I even got some fancy certificates for the wall, dunno where they went though, never been good with paperwork. Weird that shit like that can get you a job though, even if you can't fix things.

    Oh god I just imagined you desk. Massive pile of Sapporo/Asahi with the 'current' one sitting on a "Yamanote Line" pass, as a coaster.
    All covered in bearing grease.

    I decided not to take photo as it might be incriminating
