ATTENTION FORUM USERS:
Increasingly, engine professionals have migrated to our social media accounts as the primary place they choose to post comments and communicate with AERA staff and one another. We invite our current forum users to follow AERA on Facebook to post questions and interact with our 14,000+ followers. We are also on Twitter and Instagram.
By using social media, you will have a much larger audience and we feel that your overall experience will be more satisfying than the forum. Please keep in mind that we are not eliminating our forum at this time, however, we are exploring other options to try to make our online engine building community the best it can be.

What next?
Nearly 20 years I have been a mechanic. I am currently serving as shop foreman and rapidly losing interest in my career. My wife and I have discussed this quite a bit lately and I am a loss but one thing is clear, I am bored and ready for a change. The only thing I still enjoy about my job is the occasional engine build. The obvious answer would be to go to work as a machinist/engine builder but there is one problem with that, I live in a part of the upper midwest that doesn't have what you call "reputable" machine shops. What's next for a guy in my shoes?
