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

@Big T alright

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.

I rebuilt an old VW to cut my teeth

@xbigmoneygrip show that you are willing to do whatever it takes as well

Oh shit.

the pay wont be great starting out, but eventaully it will be decent

as an apprentice that is

the old stuff is fun to work on, but the new stuff is what you need today

@Big T I mean right now I'm working at a hardware store man but I will bust my butt off when they asked me to do something and and my manager who's personally works with me it's always like your hard work or man

its not until you get to flat rate that you start making money

What's the average rate as an apprentice?

slightly above min wage hourly

yikes

speaking of mechanic work, any of you in Texas wanna help with an engine swap on an 07 mazda?
