Wed, 04 September 2002 11:08 upsides are : driving good cars (depending where u work!) : learning to work on your own cars (and homejobs = $$$) : making good contacts within the car industry 4 cheaper parts downsides are : crap money (esp. as an apprentice) : never having clean hands : treated like crap at 90% of all places : being exposed to toxic chemicals : not a huge room for promotion in small w/shops as most of the time the son/daughter will take over the family business : you can't stand looking at your own car at the end of the day i've been a mechanic for 7 years now (almost broken free thank god!), at the moment i'm foreman at audi/vw...when i first started as an apprentice i loved messing around with cars and modding mine on the weekends/holidays, about 3 years ago i "gze'd" my old rolla in my holidays and had an absolute ball doing it - now i can't stand looking at my cars on the weekend, which sucks 'cos i still love modding cars - i just can't stand working 40 hours on others and coming home to mine once i'm out i know i'll find the fun part of mechanics again, but only as a hobby... basically, if u love cars find a decent job that will let u love them as a past time, not a burden my 2 cents anyway...
