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?
