Not at all, I would consider doing that myself as a mid life job change if I was unable to hold/get my job in IT, but I may be too old.

I am telling the truth, an experienced automotive technician at a Mercedes dealership can easily make $75K or more.

At the NY auto show this year, Mercedes was recruiting for technicians at the show.

Nor for long. Outsource all the jobs and there will be less Benz drivers. Which would lower the demand for Benzh technicians. Which would lower the salary...

Hey, I'm doing something similar and I'm in my 40s, but I have a lot of support from family or it would be impossible. The biggest handicap I find is that when employers see my past work history they figure I'll "leave when the economy turns around". It's a weird feeling.
