If you haven't started young like the rest of us their isn't a point in doing it. You're too late.

>>15734680
literally why.

>>15734640
Do you enjoy working on cars as a hobby? Because if you make it your job, you won't anymore.

>life protip
never make your hobby your job

I'll second this. I have an AAS In Automotive Maintenance. I fucking hate working on other people's cars. But if you know nothing it's not a bad way to learn.

Atleast study for the ASE tests... best thing I've ever done

>>15734910
>this meme

you don't have to be a mechanic forever

it's less about your ability to be able to, most people with a functioning brain could make it through, but instead, you have to market yourself in an industry where A FUCKING LOT of people have been wrenching since diapers....

Been in a MT900 with him. Smart guy. People should listen to him about cars and economics.

But while you are a mechanic you no longer enjoy the hobby.
When you spend 8 hours a day turning wrenches at work the last thing you want to do is play in the garage at home.

You should have considered this career when you were atleast in highschool. I'm 23 and have been doing this since I was atleast 14

>>15734910
so the "get a job doing something you love" meme is false?

>>15734910
This is a huge jewish lie to keep all the little sheeple working for them doing menial tasks until they die or kill themselves

getting a job doing what you love is literally the key to having a happy and successful life
