technician job experiences

i guess what i meant was, he has 40 years seniority at a job where you get to do about anything car related, why would you want to trade that for being the rookie and only get to balance tires and round off lugnuts?

if a lot of the tirechain job are better, how?
better hours, pay, insurance, ?

I don't know......I can think of lots of reasons to "trade down" now that I am older. My last full year I worked before I got hurt on the job, I made almost 71K that year. No way I'll ever see 30K with what I am doing now, but it's a LOT less stress free. Money ain't everything.
