What a complicated question. I had several interests when young and could have went several directions. I originally wanted to build and do carpenter work but in 80 when I got out of school the economy sucked for that so I followed my second interest and went and got a 2 yr degree in diesel mechanics. then worked 2 yrs and it became obvious I was never gonna earn enough to be comfortable so I reteurn and got a bachelors in Management. What a crock! It did land me my wife of 21 yrs but also taught me what I didn't want to do, kiss butt. I accidently landed a union job as a mechanic in a large plant which pays...okay and have 20 yrs in. I am now 48, too old to retrain, sick of bending, squatting, and scrubbing my hands. This notion of doing "what you love and it will never be work", is a crock. I used to love fixing stuff and restoring tractors, now i am tired of fixing. Tell your friend to choose something that pays good. Theres plenty of time to "do what you love" when you get home from work. But, if you have to work 60+ hrs a week at your crappy mechanic job to make enough money, fixing things at home is no longer fun. I could have done ANYTHING with my career instead ofchoosing money I chose my hobby and ripped myself off. I'l let you in on something: My kids go to a private parochial school where 90% of them are rich. All, and I mean All of their parents work in the bank/money field or medical field. Whether you like it or not, hobbies take money. And trust me my hobby has pretty much ground to a halt.

An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
