betweenmatt Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I'm thinking a career change is in order, I've been screen printing t-shirts since high school, and the repetitive motions all day has become way too taxing for the crap pay I get lol. How is it in the car audio install field? Whats the job market like, certifications/schooling needed, pay etc. I like doing installs, I've done a couple for myself, all my friends and half of my family xD I'm guessing MECP is a requirement? I started looking into that recently. While this career change idea is rather new, I'm extremely motivated lol.

betweenmatt Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Posted January 25, 2015 So basically its the same as what I do now, just different scenery. Long hours, crap pay, and no one appreciates your work :| Seriously though t-shirts suck, imagine rowing a boat for 8+ hours straight making 10 an hour lol
Kyblack76 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I dont think any wanted to shit on your parade. When you love to do something, doing it for others, it turns to shit. Work on your own shit,... you hate your job, get educated, and find a new one. Then, come home and work on what you love, when ever and HOWEVER the hell you want.....
