After years of working in dealerships and small shops I started to become burnt out . Shop politics and bad choices on my part (literally ran out of town because I was stupid enough to sign a no competition clause for a large Chevy dealer in a small city) I quit . I than shuffled around in the job market for a couple years before I became an automation tech for a large company. After four years of going back to school and hard work I became the head tech and have loved every day of it for the past nine year’s. I make better money than I did wrenching on cars and don’t have the stress of flat rate hanging over my head.
I still have the itch I can’t scratch for working on cars and still work on them in my spare time . Also watch the vidio OUT MODED he is speaking the absolute truth on that . I am no more than an out moded auto tech because I moved on to automation. Im on hell of an automation tech now and I’m fine with that. So if you move on you will need to be fine with what you become or be unhappy.
