Seems like there's a lot of HATE out there today for the Automotive technician field as a career. Is it really that bad? Are you wasting your life being a mechanic? I'd like to introduce some positivity regarding this profession through this video.
I'm giving you my most important advice I offer to brand new techs who are entering the field in 2025.
I'm trying to set you up to be as successful as possible because education in this field is very important to me. I personally believe that it can be a very successful career for many people, but like any career, it's based off of the effort you put into it. If you have the right mind-set and aren't afraid of hard work, it can be the right career for you too!
Many others have had a negative experience doing this work, so get as many points of view as you can and this will help you to make an informed decision regarding your future.
I still enjoy what I do, and outside of not having to have a job at all, I can't imagine another job that would interest me in the same way that this one does. Of course there are drawbacks, and I believe a lot of the systems are flawed because they haven't changed with the industry in the last 50 years. However, the idea of me working in a cubicle, even for more money, does not appeal to me at all. If that's true for you as well, then maybe look into working on cars.
