Auto Repair Careers

Ya, let alone the toll it takes on the human body.
When i got out of the Air Force in 1980, i has to find myself a civilian job.
Fell into professional auto mechanics, and did that for about 30 years.
In that length of time bending over fenders, crouching down under cars on the hoist, working on your back under an instrument panel, kneeling down, getting back up, i have severely worn out my human body, and specifically my back.
I have a hell of a time getting back up, without a lot of grief these days, doing a simple thing like airing up the 4 tires on the car.
I'm now a walking, medical disaster area in my old age.
And i know it's only going to get worser, as i continue to age.
Agree.....the wear and tear on the body, the year after year of harmful chemicals and fumes, having to buy expensive tools for what is not typically a great paying job at least in general auto repair, attending training classes on your own time and almost exclusively that is unpaid, etc.
