Could you.....
teach automotive repair? (at a VoTech? Become a trainer?)
work for a parts supplier?
find a job with a manufacturer of automotive parts/tools?
change to a different aspect of repair (body work, motorcycles, etc.)?
find a job working with non-automotive engine applications?
open your own shop and be your own boss?
find a job where you would travel to different job sites?
or do you want to leave mechanic work altogether?
Could you.....
take some evening classes and train for a different career?
make financial changes (retire debt, reduce expenses, save more) that would allow you to retire sooner and work part-time in a no-stress/no-bs situation?
I've thought about this same kind of question, but when it comes down to it, I love what I do. If you don't love the work any more, it would be tough to stick it out. Are you sure it is the work you don't like, or is it something else about your situation that is the problem? My Dad is about two years out from retiring, and I think he still enjoys his work, but he is really tired of "the job" and the bs that goes with it.
