No one could pay me money to be a service manager and have to deal with customer cars on one end and mechanics on the other side, and the boss above. It might not be exactly that way in your case though.
I only manage to do it now since it's me, me and me to deal with, and the customers. That makes it a lot easier since most of the time the left hand knows what the right hand said and did.
I got about $4000.00/month in after tax as an employee, but felt it was not worth it year after year without any garantee money when it's slow (chasing the hours every day), health plan, retirement plan, paid sick days or vacation days.
I'm glad you listen to your dad, but if would have done that I would still have been in Sweden feeling miserable.
I also know that I would never go back and be a hobby mechanic again. After getting the taste of what professional tools and knowledge can give you, I cannot understand all the years I spent trying to repair mopeds and cars with a bent screwdriver and a monkey wrench.
Good luck whatever you chose
Anders
