I was a fully certified mechanic for 26 years and toward the end I hated it. It wasn't just the daily cuts, contusions, burns etc., or the constantly being covered with oil. I was sick of the customer attitudes. They were acting like the high prices were all my fault. I quit that career cold turkey and found a job as a production test technician and later a manufacturing engineering technician in a factory making complex $1M medical equipment.
