Hi !

I could not imagine that the message I sent would have make such an 
interesting discussion !

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.

This is very interesting, because as far as I remember, in France, people 
over 65 don't tune any more.
People seem to work longer in the US than in my country.

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.

Don't worry, I wasn't saying that everyone except me is old! There's always 
somebody older than us ;-)

Quentin
