Looking to get out of auto industry

Hello all. 6 year auto tech here and I’m burnt out by this bs. Customers backing out after taking hours to diag only to get the hour. That back to back along with shrinking flag hour times and no one wants to pay the dealers ridiculous prices and scammer service advisor taking tenth of hours from every hour you flag. Very interested in how a broke auto tech can get a foot in the door as an aircraft tech. Does anywhere hire with OJT or is paid training the only route??? I have a lot of tools but probably would need more for planes. Is there any way out of the toxic auto industry and getting into aviation maintenance without a terrible pay cut??? I’m allll ears.
