What's a mechanic do instead of mechanicing

Was a factory mechanic....like a plant tech.

Tried my hand at electrical estimating and management 25 years ago.

Had skills and education in electrical, so 9 years later, I decided one day to leave my job and never go back.

Three days after I left, I had incorporated and went after my first commercial electrical job.
16 years later and I am happy and still self employed.



The best thing is being able to take time to do what I want, whenever I want. I made my switch at 36 years old, and we had 2 babies under 2 to take care of. Yea, I was scared to death, but that fear was my motivation.

Regret is a terrible thing to feel. You will never succeed or fail, unless you try.

Good luck!
