If the glass company does not have the instruments you do. Some now

But those operations don't go back to school to learn how to do it.

All the big glass shop chains have training programs and spend a LOT
on training

They use the documentation that comes with it.

WTF do you think that is? A form of training.



And it still makes no sense for the state to require 4 years
of formal training before you can work as a mechanic.

I never said 4 years. But a competent shop today has assorted
training for their certified mechanics.

And the best mechanics don't need that.
As a fealer service manager I sent my technicians to training
provided by the manufacturer several times a year. Average about 15
hours per tech per year. When I was working at an independent
":service station" garage the oil company provided training several
times a year on different systems. I likely averaged 15 hours a year
from SHell, Imperial, and Texaco over the years as well as seminars
put on by publications like SSGM (Service Station and Garage
Management) and from parts suppliers (like UAP/NAPA) and companies
like Delco Remy, Neihoff and Echlin) just for starters - and that was
when cars were "simple" mechanical dinasaurs


Try running a dealership without it



I guess you don't mind these guys working on your car.

In fact I do all the work on my car myself.

And how many un-necessary parts does he install trying
to solve a problem before he stumbles on the right fix?

None, zero, not one, nada.

Didn't when building the house either.

And when I did the concrete slab, had the local
council building inspector tell the local builders to
have a look at mine before the concrete was poured
because that is how it is supposed to be done.

They didn't bother to use bar chairs, just pulled the
mesh up with a long T handled thing with a hook on
it once the concrete had been poured. The problem
with that approach is that it doesn't guarantee that
the mesh ends up in the right place vertically.
