So long story short ive been an auto tech for the past 4 years. Love working on cars, love everything about cars and i love the challenge of figuring things out. First job i worked at aftermarket shop for 3 years. Loved it until about the last year when i stopped getting along with my coworkers my boss was a drug addict. The money was good but i couldnt take the bull that went with it. So a buddy of mine got a job at honda he loved it, was making money, never had issues like our last job. So i applied and got hired. Took a $1.75 paycut to go there bc i was told i would make it up in hrs. So i went loved it at first wasnt makin the money i was but it was bareable bc i never worked in a dealer before. Well 5 months later and i basically lost about 400/week in pay since my previous job. Ive brought my concern up to the boss and he kept reassuring me things would be bettEr. Well nothing has changed. I am goin back to school for autobody and collision repair. I kno im fortunate to have a job but it is very frustrating to see how much further i set myself back. If any of you were in my position how would you react? Look for another job? Hold out till im done school? I just dont know a close friend of mine keeps asking if i would want to open a shop with him and it sounds great but who knowd if thats the right decision. Ive felt like every decision ive made in the last year has negatively affected me when it was all supposed to positive. I jus dont know what the right decision is anymore. Im tryin to save for a home and that dream seems to jus get further and further away... Sorry for the long rant but i just need to vent. Been really down on myself lately.
