This is so true. Whilst I've been in sales ~30 years now I'm the only person in my peers EU wide really that has an engineering background. Remember the shortage of plumbers situation a few years ago? Think engineers are heading the same way. We will be in demand when we reach state retirement age 😂😂😂 We have two large toolmaking shops in Germany and they have a really strong Apprenticeship scheme. I have said to our 'HR' manager that I'd be happy to speak to apprentices in the toolroom & maintenance departments to simply give them ideas of where their career in our industry could go. I doubt many of them would consider a career in sales from where they are today, but for me is was a deliberate path to avoid University. I've given up offering now, but our industry will really need technical people to develop products & projects or it'll disappear..
