\u201cI\u2019ve been cycling for as long as I can remem\u00adber. I saved up for ages to buy my first moun\u00adtain bike. Most of the time I meet up with my friends and we go and test out new routes. We like to push it to the lim\u00adit. That\u2019s why I\u2019d love to explore the Saal\u00adbach Hin\u00adter\u00adglemm bike park one day.But that\u2019s just a lit\u00adtle dream. Look\u00ading fur\u00adther into the future, I have no idea yet what my life will be like when I retire. It\u2019s so far off at the moment. Maybe I\u2019ll teach my grand\u00adchil\u00addren to ride a bike \u2013 because one thing I know for sure is that I\u2019d like to have a fam\u00adi\u00adly. And I want to build my own house, prefer\u00adably with a lit\u00adtle gar\u00adden. I also hope I\u2019ll be able to look back on a ful\u00adfill\u00ading career. That\u2019s why my aim is to take every train\u00ading oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty that comes my way.\u201d Simon Schmid<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based on the cur\u00adrent rules in Ger\u00admany, Simon Schmid will retire in March 2066. If every\u00adthing goes accord\u00ading to plan, the VACUTAP\u00ae will have switched 1.5 mil\u00adlion times by then and will still have a good ten years of work ahead of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cWhat real\u00adly impress\u00ades me is things with a his\u00adto\u00adry \u2013 things that endure. That was what won me over straight away at my inter\u00adview here. In the Rein\u00adhausen image brochure, I dis\u00adcov\u00adered a pho\u00adto with the year 1960 on the name\u00adplate of a tap chang\u00ader. That made me think that this must be a com\u00adpa\u00adny with a strong foun\u00adda\u00adtion and a long his\u00adto\u00adry. At the same time, I\u2019m always open to new things and would love to trav\u00adel to Ger\u00admany one day. There are lots of things on my buck\u00adet list: sky\u00addiv\u00ading in Dubai, liv\u00ading on a sail\u00adboat, tak\u00ading a roman\u00adtic bal\u00adloon ride in Turkey, see\u00ading the North\u00adern Lights in Ice\u00adland, going on safari in South Africa, and vis\u00adit\u00ading Nia\u00adgara Falls in Amer\u00adi\u00adca \u2013 those are my dreams!\u201dVivi Tao<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Under the cur\u00adrent rules in Chi\u00adna, the retire\u00adment age for women is 50. For Vivi Tao, that will be in July 2043. By that time, the ECOTAP\u00ae VVS will have per\u00adformed 50.000 switch\u00ading oper\u00ada\u00adtions and will still have ten years of work ahead of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always want\u00aded to see the world. Even as a small child, I dreamed about going on long jour\u00adneys and hav\u00ading wild adven\u00adtures. Admit\u00adted\u00adly, I don\u2019t need things to be quite so wild these days. But I\u2019d still like to explore dif\u00adfer\u00adent coun\u00adtries and immerse myself in for\u00adeign cul\u00adtures \u2013 ide\u00adal\u00adly with my wife and son. That\u2019s why I\u2019d love to work for Rein\u00adhausen in Japan. The idea of doing the same job for a long time doesn\u2019t real\u00adly appeal to me. I get too rest\u00adless. That\u2019s why I\u2019m glad that, even here in the USA, I\u2019m always work\u00ading on dif\u00adfer\u00adent tasks. And who knows \u2013 maybe soon we\u2019ll be pack\u00ading our bags and head\u00ading off to Asia for some new adven\u00adtures!\u201d\u2002Jamie Hall<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the USA, retire\u00adment cur\u00adrent\u00adly starts at 67. For Jamie Hall, this means he\u2019ll be fin\u00adish\u00ading work in June 2058, while the RMV-II has to go on switch\u00ading for anoth\u00ader 15 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The life of an on-load tap-chang\u00ader is a very long one indeed.
