I really enjoy it, but it really takes a dedicated person to do the job. You have to enjoy what you do, you need to be good with your hands, patient, willing to spend money on tools etc. But it can be alot of fun, every car is like a new puzzle to solve to figure out the problem.

Knowledge, tools, patience are the three main things you need to be a good technician. If it's something your passionate about give it a shot!

I'm 18 and I'm what you could call an "Oil Technician". In other words I change oil. It pays okay and it's decently enjoyable.

23 yrs old,

I work for Crawford & Co. the world's number one independent claims processing company. Basically I do insurance claims handling. Mostly for trucking companies and other commercial and self insured businesses.

I'm really applying my Art (Graphic Design) degree.

I want to become a professional firefighter or possibly a police officer.

Well R&R is very much associated with a lot of racing. Don't think they had anything to do with racing blocks in the 60's but they may have been since R&R has been around for 141 years. Been working in the automotive business since 1927.

Well, my Automotive shop is not a Vendor. I didn't know how the rules go for that here, so I chose to roll nameless.
