       | I like the aesthetic of the page and understand they are "talking
       | their book"... but I have to wonder if there is any merit to the
       | claims they state on the web page: "Today, the last generation of
       | technicians is retiring faster than the next is being trained to
       | replace them. ETA International reports that there is a critical
       | shortage of electronics technicians. Universities educate
       | electrical engineers but do not usually train technicians for
       | electronics service and repair." [1]

       | Is there a real demand for these skills out there? What does the
       | pay structure look like?

       | I assume these types of jobs would require lots of travel if you
       | are not in a big city... or there are few opportunities if you do
       | not live in a place with lots of industry. I have so many
       | questions... As I near retirement from my first career, I think
       | about doing something to stay challenged into my 50's and 60's.
