I am happy for you - every time I have to sell a car for a customer I feel a bit sick from the promises to come & look(dont turn up) & the painstaking attention to detail of a 25 year old car for $500's purchase ugh - you guys earn your money

The problem with technical trades is that the technology gets harder and harder over time but the payrate never keeps pace. I was in a technical trade myself but it became less and less enjoyable the more complex technology got.

Panelbeating for more than 20 years and still at it.but it"s a mugs game now. If i had my time again i would look at heavy diesel mechanic and the EFIand computer side of it.

Bus driving is OK, pretty cruisy. I have never driven buses for a living, but I have driven them when road testing after carrying out repairs. From what I've seen, the most stressed out drivers are the ones that drive school buses, kids making all the noise and pulling off heater hoses under their seats.
