[QUOTE="kawraper, post: 1354584, member: 103582"] Being a mechanic is tough. I can tell you any trade school you go to will probably be a big waste of money. Shops dont care what school you went to or how many certs you have if you have no experience to back it. I started as a oil/tire changer when i graduated. I liked cars, enjoyed working on them and I kept my eyes and ears open and was very observant to what was going on around me starting with the techs and all the way up to the owners. I am now 26 full ase certs, and own my own auto repair shop. Ive never taken an auto repair or business class in my life. Its not easy, its not always fun, but it is mine. I make the hours, I call the shots, and I dont think I could every work for someone else. Im learning on my own bikes how to rebuild engines do suspension and all other work to bikes and is something I would like to add to my business in the near future. So moral of the story.......If you want to work as a mechanic dont go to school for it. Its a waste of time and money. Find a tech who will take you under his wing and soak it up......you can pay for school, you can pay for tools but you cant buy experience. [/QUOTE]
