Self employed mechanic. 57 years old and wonder why i hurt so much. Ton of money invested in tools, and have to deal with people every day. People,as in people i dont know. Which has dramatically changed in the last 2 years.
i have my long time customers, and really i dont need the business from strangers.
Many shops need techs, not apprentices. Its hard for lots of shops to keep up.
Specializing is one way to make the money, but requires training and specialized tools.
Way back i was offered work on aircraft,but i knew i didnt have the mindset.
To suggest that the youngins not persue jobs in the automotive sector is wrong. We will always need them.
And garbage men.
