I am thinking about a career change...

I understand your feeling of being in the auto industry.I have been in it for now 40 years and the bull s#%t is getting worse and worse.Every thing needs to be done for yesterday,and if some thing brakes that was not on a estimate its your fault and all kinds of problems to call the customer.Managers and advisiors that just can,t understand that things are seized and brake,its the life of a tech.If you feel it,s time to change,Do it,as this field opens your mind to other area,s of life.You still have the field to fall back on and can do side jobs and repair friends and family,s cars for cheap price.you just might need a brake from the BS of the industry,and some quiet time doing some thing else to help reflect.Find some type of hands on job and get away from it for a year or two and then,think about things with a clear mind,mrmopartech 40 years in the biss,and pissed for the last 10 years.
