I just started turning wrenches for a major company this year
I’m 45 yrs old & this is my 3rd career Very rewarding & glad you made & shared this video
More youngsters do need to look into this field

I turned wrenches for 20 years. Thankless job with no rewards.

Good points in your video Jon.
I was in this business 14 yrs at dealer and 36 as owner.
It’s a very rewarding field with the right customers.
It’s a real brain challenger on the diagnostic end.
There are a lot of negatives you don’t mention because you’re still young in this field.
It takes a tremendous strain on your back, knees and shoulders.
No mention of hearing loss in 1972 when I started.
Extending credit even to friends will burn you eventually.
Way too much in tool investment. At least you probably don’t need SAE sizes like I did when I started.
Keep your shop small. One tech and one office person. Expenses really go up from there when you hire more as well as the liability.
I’m retired 8 yrs now and live in W Ky. Right on Ohio River.

Hello ...
I like your videos. You should make a video on how to get a job as a mechanic.

I know you hinted at not going to a dealership to get stuck on a lube rack. But, is that how all dealerships are? For example, working as a lube tech with the chance for them to train me as a technician would be ideal at Toyota. I feel like the training would be better. As long as I don’t get stuck changing oil

I grew up working on cars dad was a tech ive done alot different repairs throughout the years i have always wanted to be a tech but im 51 yrs old and not sure a shop woukd train me and pay me a fair wage wgat you think .
