Yeah, don't wear out your back, knees and other important parts with decades of physical labor.
I know you found another role turning wrenches. Now is the time to look for that career change and see what’s out there slowly and without stress of needing the job.
Every time I do any work on my cars, my respect for good mechanics goes way up. I've done the work I can to save a buck here and there over the years, but I've never really enjoyed it. I don't know how guys do auto repair for a living.
Sound advice.
I have a nephew in a similar situation.
No kids or house etc, but he also does a physically demanding job as a painter/carpenter.
I can understand the physical strain it puts on his body, but it's difficult trying to explain to him that despite only being 30, his body won't work the same at 35 or 40....he just wants the next stimulant that'll get him working again.
At that point, all I can do is hope the best for him and help him where I can.
Some folks just don't care to listen to logic or reason, regardless of how often you tell 'em.

I think it's the same for every generation. When you're young, you don't think that someday you might have aches and pains from abusing your body in your youth. You are also unlikely to listen to your elders who try to impart that wisdom upon you.
Then with some luck, you reach those older years, and realize that what you were told was right. So now YOU are the one trying to impart that wisdom, with the same results...
I've been looking for a while. I'm tired of security and trying to get back into something aviation related. Plus the company I currently work for was just bought out. I feel your pain.
I enjoy certain repairs. I especially enjoy troubleshooting and diagnostics. It's like solving a puzzle.
I'm very lucky to have supportive management at my job. Management making things more stressful than they need to be or being toxic is a horrible situation.
Not to mention the misery of living in LA. It takes a toll mentally.$100k in LA is just above poverty level. Too bad you had to leave before finding something else. My experience has been it's easier to find a new job when you have a job. Good luck
You were talking about moving out of the area a while ago.
What part of the country are you in ?
Your background / degree in ?
Wife willing to move ?
Career change ?
Pay wanted ?
Age ?
Are you still enjoying the new job? I'm glad I got away from mechanicing when I did, back in the day. Body suffers from it.
