Where are the new techs needed?

[Shawn Brock]

Andy,

I can sum it up in one word, Vegas!  I was going to move out that way myself but didn't!  Cost of living is some what low compared to California and other parts of the country.  Its a grate place to work, and the people are for the most part vary friendly.  You are doing the best thing for yourself as far as checking it out goes.  I did a lot of research before my graduation from Emil Fries and all signs pointed to Vegas!  Its wide open in that town.  Not vary many Technicians...  Just don't do like I have dun and let a friend talk you into somewhere that you really don't want to be.  That's my situation in Cincinnati...  When I left hear to go to school I swore that I would never be back!  I was wrong...  But its like the song tells you "its nobody's fault but mine!"  Regards,
Shawn

  Greetings all, this is my first post after reading the list for a little while.  I just finished my first year in piano tech at the North Bennet Street School and I'll be returning for rebuilding next fall.  I'm in the unique position that I'll be able to move pretty much wherever I want when I'm finished with school, so I'm doing some research about where in the country you all think there is a shortage of good technicians.  I asked the same question at the piano world technician's forum and got a lot of recommendations for moving "out west" to California and the like.  Are there any specific areas you know of that need new techs?  Also, do you know where I can find out more about this topic?

  Thanks, and I hope to chat some more in the future.
