It is easy to sit behind a keyboard and judge. It is a lot harder to actually do the job.

I have been the guy in the suit, I was an executive in a renewable energy compnay working in Latin America for the last decade and then the financial crisis hit and I had to earn a living closer to home.

I now own a small shop that specializes in Porsche, BMW, Land Rover, Audi, Mercedes, VW and Volvo. It is hard work and there is a lot of competition but if you are good to people and know what you are doing, you can earn a nice living.

I have the most respect in the world for Porsche and Land Rover service writers. They deal with every self important prick in the world. I don't have to be nice at my shop, I want to be nice and I strive to be but I won't get fired if I tell someone who is rude where to get off. But dealership service writers and managers have to eat crap all day every day.

I see both sides of the story and if you think working a tire machine is easy, try it some time.
