Good luck on your search. My cousin was a Ford tech for almost 8 years. Finally got tired of the inconsistent pay checks. Show up for 50 hours get paid for 30. Show up for 40 hours get paid for 50. And then there was the slow times when you can't get anything. He found somthing more steady about three years ago. I will tell you he always talks about going back to the shop. He really misses it. Good luck with finding somthing. But like you said dont burn that bridge you never know when you may want to go back.

If you know how to do body work and such you should try your local auction. Just a thought.
