You may not see this because I haven't been on here for a few days. But, if you like being a gearhead, and don't like working where you are now, what about going out on your own? A friend of mine was a top tier mechanic for the local JD dealer, but got the chits of it. So, he went out and bought a truck with a utility body on it, loaded up his tools and got some cards made out. He also had a large garage area at his home where he can take a machine and split it and have the tools to do it right. The rest of the time, he goes to the farm and does repairs there and in the field. He lets the war department do the billing, charges more than he could make at the dealership, yet far less than the dealer charged, and has built up a good clientele and business and has a good demand on his time. And, if he feels like going fishing for a day or two, he does. It's just and idea, but he is enjoying life, and making a good living doing it. And us farmers are happy to have him around for when we get stupid or feel overwhelmed by something that is routine to him. Good luck....
