35 YEARS AS A TECH

[1qksrt]

Well ,after aprox. 35 years as a dealer tech,I,ve decided to hang it up.With all the b.s. in recent years involving dealership closings,medical benefits and not able to make a living as in past years I've decided enough is enough!
I know that I am not alone in this and I wish well to all others caught up in this economic crunch.In my years as a tech I have attained G.M. & Chrysler master status,A.S.E. master(auto,Truck and machinist)Which I thought was all for naught,until I received a call the other day from a friend asking if I would be interested in joining a startup prototype dept. with P.A.C.(Precision Aeronautic components).I've been thinking about a career change for awhile and the timing couldn't be better.Well I start 5:00am June 8th,I was told that my name came up in a meeting one day and they thought that I would be a good candidate for the position(yeah I couldn't believe it either).Amazing,Four day work week,great benefits,vacation,etc,etc.
When I went to meet them,I was amazed at the high level of workmanship,And thought to myself that I would be apart of this:rock:
Well,I would like to tell all out there struggling like me,to hang in there,you never know what the new day will bring.Wish me luck in my new endeaver,as I am wishing well to others.
Thanks to all my friends,who kept telling me to hang in there(you know who you are).
