@Big T why not
i was a mercedes benz tech and ASE master tech
I got FAFSA, and graduated scott free.
My coworker is like, 100k in debt for a 4-year.
And we work the same job.
get a job as an apprentince tech
😂
instead
@Big T how do you do that
Go learn plumbing or welding or electrician cert if you want a trade cert that will always be relevant and profitable...
millions of young people conned into debt with no chance of being financially independent who think they cant have kids otherwise
go to shops and see if theyre hiring
you become an apprentice under a master tech
This is true.
he trains you to be a tech and eventually you get your own stall
@Big T I put some guys I work with that eventually want to go work in a oil bay. they told me you need some type of certification just to work on a car.
The amount of debt is astonishing, and a large majority are investing in careers that aren't worthwhile in our current market.
Or the ROI is just dogshit.
I love engineering, but I look back and think, "I could have been a mechanic or electrician so much faster."
@xbigmoneygrip not sure what that means
there we go
@Deleted User SAME
What type of Engineering?
mechanical
not really. there is not required cert to work on car
Nice.
steam engines, man
Except I don't even love engineering, I left to work for myself in craft and trades anyway.
that's my porn
Nice I'm an ME too
@Big T that's what I thought. You just need to be a certified mechanic to work a car. For mechanic shop
all shops like to have ASE certs, but theyre not required.
I have a friend who was attending WSU for Mechanical Engineering but he made a lot of mistakes, and goofed. He took a year off, and I think he stopped attempting to go back. He's been part of a shitty scene and now works at Walmart or something.
Not sure if he has debt.
theres no governing body that certifies a tech. so you can work on a car with out one
@[DGI]tech I have two friends who are going to college and both are doing service security which is a lot of money but my one friend who's really smart and everything you know spent a lot of time on school. and I'm the type of person I can't sit in a classroom for 2 hours a day did learn something with 50 other people
at the dealership level, a lot start out in quick lube and then work their way to line tech
@Big T I've had people tell me that working in a dealership is okay but not great there's a lot of BS you have to deal with
Honestly, my buddy is a smart cookie if he puts his mind too it, but just lazy. I'm sure he could be better off if he worked towards becoming a Mechanic and working his way up, but who knows his life goals now.
@Deleted User I'm always surprised how many engineers I meet on Discord.
