Warrantee doesn't hardly pay for diagnostics so the skill is poorly rewarded at the dealer level.

Hey Steve, thanks for the thoughtful reply.
It's something I'd never paid attention to, but now that you mention it, most technicians that own or work at the indpendents that I've visited have generally been 40 years old and older, with maybe a handful in their late 30's.
