Lost a job of 10 years last week ( I am an auto tech.) 53 years old.
2 new jobs offered.
1) really old established independent shop, great bennies but crappy working conditions (attached body shop, lots of fumes all day, only 1 lift that goes only halfway up, due to low ceilings. Most work done on floor on jack stands).
or
2) newer shop, regular lifts, has another mechanic who does all the heavy stuff( engines and trannies). BUT no included health insurance.
equivalent pay offered from each. Travel time about the same.
Opinions?
