Trying to roll out of the shop

Hey guys, I’m seeking some career advise and hopefully this is ok to post here. I’ve been wrenching for about 22 years, mostly independent shops but a few dealerships along the way. I’ve never particularly enjoyed the job but it was something I was good at and I just kind of accepted that it’s what I do. Life happened and next thing you know it’s 20 years later.

Mentally and physically it’s just really getting to me anymore. The wear and tear on my body, the toxic workplace along with the state of the industry have me in a bad place. I look for jobs and I just have zero interest.

I have to change something and was looking for any input from people that made a change. What did you go to? Did it require any other education? I am not opposed to staying in something mechanical but don’t know where to look and what my skills would translate to. If I need some kind of certification or degree I’m willing to get it to get out of where I am.

Any input that can be given is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
