I am 31 years old, and currently employed as a mechanic for a municipality. Been there 7 years now. Tried advancing in both pay and title ever since I’ve started but just doesn’t seem to happen. My skill set is diverse, my attention to detail is applauded by my peers, and my work ethic is strong. I consider myself to be easy to get along with. I feel that I’m spinning my wheels constantly going above and beyond and doing things outside of my job description.
I have recently been considering making a career change. I’ve worked at dealerships in the past, and I have no interest going to another. Do I join an operating union? Try starting my own business? Change the industry I work in completely? Trying to think outside of the box.
I struggle with trying to find the balance of a good wage, good benefits, time off, etc. I know depending what you do, it’s give and take.
