Hey guys!
I'm glad to see that this forum exists!
I'm interested in being an elevator technician, because I really like machines! Building, troubleshooting and repairing machines seem to be what I'm really good at in life! So, I did a some career searching and came to the conclusion that I would both make a really good elevator tech and hopefully enjoy it for the rest of my life.
So as you can imagine I've been asking around, trying to learn as much about it as possible. What is it really like? Does it have a long term future? How do I become an elevator tech? If I become an elevator tech... how do I become one of the best? How can I be truly successful in this field?
I've heard everything ranging from "It's the perfect job for you" to "My uncle is an elevator tech. The business isn't doing that well and they are desperately looking for a reason to get rid of him to replace him with a less experienced cheaper tech".
What is this field really like? How can I figure out if it is right for me?
If it is right for me, what is the fastest way to start actually doing it?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
