I haven't turned wrenches professionally in 25 years. My skills are so out of date it would take 6 months before I would be up on all the new cars. I stopped in to visit with one of my former employers, and he offered me a job at his shop, starting immediately, at a pay rate that is comparable to what I make as a sysadmin. He says I can pick up on the new car stuff because "90% of the new stuff on cars is computers, and you know that. The rest is the same as it always has been."
My employment contract is up at the end of June, and I am currently looking for a new job. So I seriously considered it. But in the end, I decided to stick with IT. The pay is the same, and I don't come home from work greasy. George, the idea of getting paid to work on 914s all day is really tempting. But I don't want to relocate to Atlanta. And what would I do when we ran out of broken 914s? Ask me in 10 years, when I am supposed to retire. Clay |
