Not to mention the insurance companys misguiding customers and steering them to there own body shops and not telling them they have the right to go to the shop of there choice. The economy really hurt too, because unless there car wasn't drivable, people would leave there cars smashed and take an insurance check. I'll probably always like autobody, but don't like it when doing it for a living in a shop. Have to practically beg for $10 an hour, and been involved in the trade in some sort or the other for almost 15 years. I am just sick of it, meanwhile my brother had no schooling (except going to school for corrections, which he didn't go into)and puts in flooring. He started working part time at the company when he was in tech school and is still there today. I bet he pulls in 50 grand a year as well as getting a bunch of side work. He doesn't have to deal with nowhere near the hazardous stuff I've dealt with, and not as much money in tools to do the job. I choose the wrong profession. Stay at one place for a while, get fed up not getting raises or making decent money and the bs, then try to find another place to work. Kinda hard to start in a new proffession at 34 years old. There aren't many kids getting into the trade either. I don't like the styling on a lot of the newer cars now, don't even no what a lot of them are. When I was a teenager, I knew what almost every car on the road was by looking at it. My neighbor has one of those honda suv thingys. Ugly as sin, looks like they put a box of glass on the top.Last edited by kenseth17; 06-12-2004 at 02:49 PM.
