One of my last coworkers when I told him I was thinking about putting in my two weeks literally told me "get out of this place, you don't wanna be stuck in this career" 😂 it was good advice, but I didn't listen
Need a part 2
Truth, In college they said I would make 70k a year, and come to find out that is a huge lie
15 years a mechanic and what a waste of time its been
don't buy all snap-on, snap-on have cool tools and all that, but also they are selling you the brand, you don't need a $100 in a empty propane torch when you can buy a bottle and the torch head for 50
Advice number 1 do not buy snap on or name brand you will be in debt
Number 2 do not go to payed schools
UTI for example , community colleges offer auto/diesel which is good enough to get a job nowadays in California – companies are desperate right now
Number 3 sucks to say but don’t stay at one job for too long unless you’re happy with the money , getting a 1$ raise ain’t good enough when another company is offering 6-8$ more
I’m a diesel mechanic and they’re paying 35 for service techs a simple oil drop and inspections 🤦🏻♂️
your always gonna learn something new, don't be a know it all.
God Bless You all. All Glory to God. Repent and live for God. Romans 10:9 “if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God rose Him from the dead you will be saved.”
Always listen to the experienced guy. In my job, I hated training someone, who already knew everything, and could do it better. It was hard training people like that. And I was a baker. I can't imagine trying to teach someone auto repair.
advice for someone who just walked in the door- walk back out that same door
