Hey folks, was wondering if anyone still reading this forum that's kinda retiring but need something to do outside of the automotive industry? I've been doing this since the 70's and am burnt out, among other things.

Had a pretty successful business doing mobile work for body shops - calibrations, programming, computer and electrical diag and stuff. Used to do quite a bit of mechanical work but some back problems killed that program so I went to strictly electronics a few years ago. Was planning on expanding in late '22 and then had a heart attack the day after Christmas. Kinda changed my game plan.

Long story short, I'm back in good health at the ripe young age of 67 and have scaled back my business considerably. Don't want to go much into debt for equipment upgrades and stuff at this point (which I'll need just to keep up with the industry). Anybody find a 2nd career that's part time (HAHA) and enjoyable? I have a ton of technical knowledge, management, sales - you name it I've probably done it (for decades!) and would like to be able to use it. The job search engines (Indeed, ZipRecrutier, etc.) seem to be pretty much a joke or I'm too stupid/lost my mind to navigate them.(correct answer is B)

I can go to work tomorrow at my choice of shops if I want to go back to full time. They say 40 hr workweek but that always seem to turn out closer to or over 50,whether it's writing service, parts, just about anything. Can't do that grind anymore.. The wheels on by toolboxes are LOCKED - they're not going anywhere. Anyone have any success or suggestions at something else? Grubhub? Hardware store? Tanning salon? Amateur comedian? So many decisions, so little time! TIA folks.
