Sitting at work, little bit bored, just thinking....

Collision repair technician(bodyman) here. Been doing it 12 yrs and am currently looking to do something else. The money is pretty darn good for no harder than I really have to work, but Im only 33 and already have back problems, and I dont want to be the 50 yr old grumpy body man with a bad back and shot knees. Dont know what it is about bodymen/mechanics, but most that I have worked with who are over 45yr old are some of the most grumpy and miserable SOB's I have ever had to work with.

TNHillbilly, my best friend runs CNC for Baker/Hughes here in Tulsa OK, and he works third shift, and he makes $28/hr. I see ads all day long round here for CNC guys at $22-23/hr.
