I spent 14 years in the auto body profession & the past five in the insurance end of the business. It is a decent living . I own my own home,my wife has been home with my kids for 11 years & I can go drag racing every weekend with my Stang. Also a trade is something no one can take from you,if your good at it you'll aways have the ability to earn a living, but I sometimes wish I had other options. I know a lot of other guys in the trade who feel stuck as well.At five or ten years in you can't try something else without a large paycut.
BTW a good bodyman in my area makes $15 to $20 per hour.even more up towards Boston
