What's a mechanic do instead of mechanicing

Thanks for putting your story out there Trailbest. Very enlightening!!

I completed a 21-year Air Force career, 10 years in communications-electronics repair and 10 years in recruiting. Since retiring from the Air Force I worked at two jobs and have been self-employed twice. I commend anyone who is self-employed...it is VERY challenging. One was a franchise that I owned for 5 years and was making a living, but I took a job and moved to Virginia to get closer to my aging mother. The other was as a real estate agent. Now I moved back to Georgia and I'm currently looking for my next career.

To the OP,

Take time to figure out what you want out of life, what makes you happy, what gets you excited to get up and go to work in the morning.

I've attached a worksheet that helps you work to define your "Primary Aim". It's from The E-Myth by Michael Gerber. It's a great exercise that I worked through about 9 years ago and it helped me. The interesting part is writing your own eulogy.

Good luck!
