out side of the physical abuse the body takes, getting training to stay on top of ever changing tech and the constant investment in tools. I often hear teachers cry about having to come up with a couple hundred worth of supplies a year to do their jobs and I laugh in their faces....

For me the change in technology. I started on the automotive side in 76 when basics was all you needed. Now, can't do anything without a laptop.

I've kept up with changes, continued my education and training.

You guys nailed it. The advancement in tech really made our life harder but at the same time, I'm glad that I get to see major advancements in my lifetime. You know, one thing I'd really like to see someday is those elevating mobiles on the road and get to seat on one of them.
