| "There may be a need to focus more on two different levels of technicians...two different career paths. The product quality is so much better that routine repairs are less and less, and you might need somebody that's semi-skilled for those. And then you need the really smart, skilled technician that can diagnose the computer system and figure out what's going on. We may have somebody that doesn't have aptitude to become a high-level technician, but yet he can service cars, and do a good job of inspections and do things right for us, but he's never going to plateau to [the higher level]. Dealerships probably have always had that where we've always usually just gone with the best guy. Now, it's got to where we go, okay, we need an A Tech, a B Tech, a C Tech, we need two As, two Cs and then one D." | Metro |
| "One comment specific to the higher education: don't overload the instructors at the college level. Some of them really need to evolve and develop themselves so they can set a good example for the students, and some do a wonderful job. Most do a wonderful job, but as an educational institution, you know, taking a hard look and making sure those instructors are up to the level they should be is important." | Metro |
