I have been wrenching for just about 30 years now. Opened my own 3 bay shop 2.5 years ago and never looked back.
I honestly can not think of many other jobs on this planet that are underappreciated under paid more than a really good auto tech.
Seriously. If we all threw our hands in the air...everyone in transportation repair, tow drivers, techs...We could cripple this country in 30 days..
However Mr cushy ass banker, lawyer, politician, 6 digit, 6 week paid vacation, paid retirement /health care a year, would never make it to his 500k per year job if it was not for that tradesman getting 50k a year,no benefits to fix his POS he wants cheap as possible, under dripping slop snow, digging dead animals out of heater boxes, scraping cat guts off exhaust systems in the middle of the summer.....Don't even get me started...I like doing it, but we should be paid much, much, much more..
This society takes for granted what a working transportation system means to every aspect of human existence these days..No military, no fuel, no groceries...NOTHING moves without a good mechanic behind it, unless they want to break out the horse and buggies..
