YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED WORK. Mechanics are flat rate at most shops. so you could work forty hours and bring home 20 hrs.Very rare do people who take cars as a hobby are able to do it as a career. > [@bobbyg1243](#): > > the way i looked at it, im guaranteed work. i was going to sell cars, but who wants to deal with all the stress. right now im working at a cadillac dealership, i know i can transfer, but think about this. > > 65 year old man and his wife come in to buy a new cts. i spot them and greet them at the door. the first thing this guy is gonna think is exactly this… > Can i speak to someone with a bit more experience in sales? what do you know about these cars that i dont already know. > > i have no chance being 21 and from what i hear your always working to dig yourself out of a the debt you fall into if you dont sell enough. > > im more of a hands on person whos always looking to learn something new. if you ask anyone i know i go through more jobs than elliot spitzer does hookers. its not because im a slacker and dont like working, its because im curious and want to learn as much as i can and try new things. iv always been an avid fan of cars and have been fascinated by them, most of my jobs have been in/around a vehicle of some sort. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/automotive-technicians-step-in/45364)._
