For the most part all I ever wanted to do was be a mechanic I was bless to be able to spend my life around some damm good ones... I would not trade my association with them for anything...

The problem is I got what I wanted but no one told me I would have to do it till the day I died... There is not many wrench'N jobs that have a good retirement...

I would look at it this way your body is going to give out on you, you may have 20 more good years if you are lucky... If you are not willing to keep up with evolution (new chit) get the ell out of it while you can...

A few I have worked with did just that but still wrenched in trades like a fork lift mechanic are in maintenance in a factory and have done well and happy...

When you went out on your own if you did not get payment for you work it was your fraught the very first question should be how are you going to pay me...

School may be a good thing if someone else is paying for it and keeping me up but if I am paying for it I don't know of one that is set up to move on with the program... Even a four year degree is set up to fudge off the first two years and its hammer down the last two years...

At the local Tinker Tech (community collage) the teachers in automotive Technologically could not make a living at pulling a wrench if there life depended on it... Its all set up to take daddy's money its what a government job is living off the T.I.T.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
