Auto Tech school, trade school , advice, rep on the street
Yeah I love wrenching on my cars and even friends for a hobby. But doing it on the daily isn't so much fun.

exactly. Being a mechanic earns a livable wage, but in the end, its back breaking work for a salary that gets you by.

I have a friend, who is 20. He works for the Toyota stealership as an auto mechanic there and does sidejobs for friend's and **** on his days off. He currenty owns an FC and has been making payments on a 02/03 Audi A4??? for a couple years now. I'd imagine he's close to paying it off. Also, he already has plans with his father to buy a house.
Now tell me that's not bank.
To the OP: If you're an RNA, keep working in the medical field and become a nurse, you're already almost there. I know people in both industries, both young and old, and trust me, stick with the nursing field. The job is definitely mentally and physically stressful, but not as physically stressful as being a mechanic, and the rewards in the medical field are much greater than being a mechanic. Make wrenching on cars your hobby, not your career. Good luck!

whatever you do please dont go to WyoTech formerly Sequioa in Fremont. Way too expensive and you dont learn as much. Honda has a program at DeAnza i believe and Toyota has a good program at Skyline. I personally went to the Toyota program at Skyline. Good program and its cheap.
