I wanna go to school to do something with cars

Working on cars for a living is highly unrecomended.

I started out ASE master certified, with insp/emis licence. Worked as a dealer apprentice, but shop politics got the better of me. I made my master soo much money, that the second tech in the shop was going to quit if I didn’t rotated to him. Then I had to be his bitch. It was altimatum time for the boss, and he called my bluff. See ya later Chrysler. Then came flat rate at firestone. The one thing I can say is if I was going to work on general repair agian I’d go back to dealerships. Don’t work for a place that open seven days a week. People always wait until the weekend to get their cars worked on, and you have to rely on bringing 20+ hours on a saturday just to hit 40.

Working on automotive performance is a little bit different. I have people busting my balls over the price of a roll cage that is going to be a permanant safety feature. Then you have people that need a wheel bearing and pay just as much. The internet has killed customers. People walk in and give a hard time cause they can get something $10 cheaper on line.

Its all pretty mentaly and phyisacaly demanding. You can make it if you use your head, and hussle.

I had though of going to Wyotech or somewhere similar, but in the end I thought about. If I go into my garage to relax and wrench on my car because i’m burnt out from my job. How would I relax if that WAS my job. I enjoy playing with cars to much to let a job ruin it.

Good food for thought right there.
