Advancement in this field depends to a large extent on the size and character of the technician's place of employment. Early advancement usually comes in the form of increased salary and less supervision in recognition of the technician's increasing skill. For a technician who works in a small shop, the only other advancement possibility may be going into business on his or her own, if the community can support another retail store or repair shop.
