If I could do it...wait!..I AM doing it all over again. I used to be a meatcutter. The pay & bennies were good but I hated it. I was always a mechanical type anyway. I love this work. It reminds me of the guy at graduation who said "Pick a career you enjoy and you'll never work a day in your life" It just took me 20 years to find it!
I toyed with the Benz mechanic idea also but its not easy to get in. I agree those guys have it MADE. And if anyone has worked on a Benz you know they are a real pleasure.
