Mozell Sponsler: It's a terribly under paid job and everyone thinks you're trying to rip them off, I've been doing it 35 years and if I had to do it again I'd go into heavy duty equipment. You'll likely have union protection there if the "good looks" become an issue.
Ezekiel Kadner: I hang out with mostly guys and I can dish the crude jokes just as well as listening to them so that won't bother me. I strive to be the best and I am very competitve. I know this type of job isn't going to make me rich. I just want to do something that I will love and enjoy and that will challenge my brain and my body everyday. I don't mind getting down and dirty when needed. I enjoy it.
Justin Casten: unfortunately, D is pretty close to correct. HOWEVER, if you got the will and the smarts, Go For It !!i used to have this retail lady customer, that i called Mrs Goodwrench. she could out wrench the next three tech's. it can be a rewarding career, if you're good. one of my profe! ssional tech's is making 100G's at a tire store.
Brittney Inabnit: The problem with going into auto mechanics is that A: It's a fairly crappy job on the best day, what with being hot in summer, cold in winter, always being dirty, always scraping your knuckles, cutting your hands, burning yourself, etc., dealing with stupid people who don't know what you're talking about, don't take care of their cars, don't trust you, and don't want to pay you, and B: You have to constantly be learning new stuff. Every new car that comes out is a new bag of problems, and your have to try to keep track of all their quirks, or you won't be able to diagnose obscure issues accurately. You'll be expected to work on stuff made last week as well as stuff made 40 years ago, and just "know" what's wrong with all of them, or you won't get any respect. Most of the best mechanics have been messing with cars since they learned to drive, it's not something you just decide to take up on the spur of ! the moment. I've been working on cars for 35 years in my spare! time and as necessary, and I don't know that I would ever have wanted to do it for a living. I've known some really good mechanics who've thrown down their tools in disgust and walked out, it was that bad. While I think it's true that any job is what you make of it, it's not a glamorous, high paying job. It's hard, dirty, sometimes dangerous, and you're expected to pull your own weight. In a work environment that's 99% male, you're going to get a lot of lonely guys hitting on you, or just resenting you for being there. They're going to be angry they can't tell their crude jokes with you around, or maybe they will anyway, and you'll have to put up with it. As a woman, you're going to have to be twice as good to be noticed, much less taken seriously, and any mistake is going to get twice as much attention. I'm not trying to discourage you, but just bear all this in mind.......Show more
Dawn Saha: UTI technical institue! It is in ARIZONA and other states. You can sgtart! by buying a "VISIBLE ENGINE"model kit from REVELL toy company. It will teach you HOW to put an engine together. I envy you your passion, but tehcnicians in the US are often not thought of that well. They are supposed to know EVERYTHING and get blamed many times for things that happen, even if they are not responsible for them. It is reqrding in it'sown way many times, when you get satisfaction from taking something that is BROKEN and returning it to it's BEST. GOOD LUCK!!...Show more
Shawn Lelis: relies upon on the fella's personal flavor. some adult males are threatened, others became on through your skills. you're a keeper in my e book. Hell if you're into football i'd might want to contemplate divorce today.
Georgina Natal: There's no reason in this day and age why a girl can't be a mechanic, as long as you bear in mind that when you are checking under some guy's hood he's more likely to be interested in your *** than in your technical skills.
Kandi Lo! ugh: You can do a search for auto mechanics schools in your area, or ch! eck for "technical" schools, or trade schools in your area.Good luck, and your dream is very possible.
