Or was it hard for you?
@Big T what's the best way to start out going into you know auto mechanic kind of career area
oh!
have you worked on your own car before?
I had an extremely shitty family, and school dynamics, in addition to being bullied so I want to say I was depressed, and highly cynical so I didn't care.
or have any mechanical knowhow?
But after my Associates I ended up with a 3.4 or so.
Gotcha
So I definitely turned it around after H.S.
@Big T little. I'm a Hands-On type of person I'm really great with Hands-On stuff I can't sit at a desk it's too boring for me and drives me insane
I will say though that I could have graduated 6 months sooner if it wasn't for colleges bullshit classes.
Because ma "well roundedness."
Which is really just their attempt at squeezing cash out of you.
Gen Ed is such bullshit. I can study Chinese Lesbian Pottery on my own time, thanks.

6-months, aka 6 classes of garbage.
Each class I want to say was 5 credits, so roughly $100-140 per credit.
Am I high school I got the job shadow mechanic for my senior project. was going to do about a mechanic shop and then they said they'd been 44 me to jobcenter which was literally we just sitting here watching him and I went to an oil Bay and then let me job shadow. What you was me just sitting there watching them and then they were teaching me things.
ok thats a good start. go around to different shops in your area and see if theyre interested in hiring an apprentice. try quick lube positions at dealerships. if you have a sears automotive around you, theyre a good start.
pick up a set of tools too
1/4, 3/8 ratchet set metric
stay away from imperial
no one uses that anymore
Are there any solid books if you want to learn more about cars past referencing the car manual?
but older cars do
set of open end/box end wrenches
haynes manuals are good
they sell them at any car parts store
doesnt have to be snap on or matco. theyre great, but you dont want to break the bank right out of the gate
theres some out there @[DGI]tech but i havent really looked into them
craftsman are made in china now, so no longer great
A lot of info
Hmm.
yea, but he just needs them to get in
@Deleted User are local Lowe's half their Craftsman stuff says made in the USA
youtube videos and car forums to learn mechanices
I may consider doing a rebuild after I receive my new job.
Purely to learn.
its a good skill to learn
But for now I'm trying to do more work on my car rather than taking it in.
