honestly, the investment in tools and knowing that i'll never really finish buying tools is the scariest part, for me at least. working flat rate is a close second. the guys at my shop seem to be doing pretty well, whether that's from being a tech or selling drugs remains to be seen. i kinda keep to myself and live within my means when it comes to finances, and i'm pretty well decided that kids aren't in my future. my house doesn't have to be anything special. if the garage is bigger than the living area, that's fine too. i got into it because i think that being a tech gives me the best shot at not dreading going to work in the morning. i like the guys i work with, and the guys i go to class with. i honestly enjoy the job, at least for the time being, and hopefully that leads to excelling at it
but yeah, i forgot about the other head unit install. didn't even have to take the dash apart for this one, it was an old honda accord. i just kept hearing" what if you break it?" and "don't break it or i'll kill you/stab your eyes out/key your car" and stuff. if you're scared of a car breaking, don't own one. and don't threaten the guy working on it when you don't know anything about it, because all of a sudden it won't start and he mysteriously won't know how to fix it. and people complaining about time, jesus christ. i get paid by the job, believe me i'm not slacking
