I'm an automotive technician at a Chevy dealer, but they just merged 4 dealerships, so now I'm seeing some Nissan, Buick, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles also. It's O.K. I would probablymajor in something else if I could do it again, but it's all I knew at the time and there was a baby on the way so....no regrets!

I used to be a Mechanic both Civilian and Military, If I could do it again I would have waited for an opening at the MP school instead of taking a mechanic job. Its good to know but anyone with a mechnical mindset can do it, its not hard to learn. Its a job, it paid the bills but I love money too much to not make alot of it.

And yes, always working on other peoples junk instead of my own kinda bored me out of the hobby, I just stick around for the technical data thats to be had on these forums.

LastCoupe,are they making you get certified for the new makes ?

Thanks man. Yeah, I guessone thing you can say about my profession is that they won't be sending my job overseas!I am good at it too, I have very few repeat concerns ("come-backs) and in only 8 years, I am the highest paid flat rate tech in the shop. I'm not tryin' to brag, just trying to ensure I stay interested and not board to go looking for something else, I like to keep my feet planted. At least until my kids are grown.

LastCoupe,are they making you get certified for the new makes ?

No, not as of yet anyway.

Its good to know but anyone with a mechnical mindset can do it, its not hard to learn.
I beg to differ, but In the 8 years I've been at this dealer there have been well over 50 techs in-and-out of there and MOST of them were NOT ANYGOOD at it at all. I agree that it's not hard to replace parts, buta parts changer does not a technician make.

Its a job, it paid the bills but I love money too much to not make alot of it.

Yes it's a job......It almost pays the bills (LOL)...........and believe me I've looked and I can't find any other job that I can make 55,000 a year without going back to college.

Sorry for posting 2-in-a-row KYLE:)

I live to play. To pay for that I have a few jobs.

Current Part time gigs- Plow snow & DJ weddings.

I gotta agree with LastCoupe. Almost anyone can replace parts, it takes a technician todiagnose and repair vehicles.

Sounds like thier are some very talented poeple on this site.

Me=Unemployed for the last year, due to a back injury. But i still collect a hefty check each month :D

Lastcoupe, thats ALOT of "techs" we didnt go thru that many in the 3 years I was at lexus and the 3 years in the army. A close family friend has been a GM master tech for the past 27 years at the same dealership he started as a porter in the late 70's, he is damn good at what he does.

Since I got out of the navy (was a jetengine mechanic for 8 years)in May my friend and I have opened our own buisness. We do handyman services and more. Pretty much, if it needs to be repaired on a house we can do it. Last week I finished restoring four woodenporch collumsthat are 80 years old. They needed to be replaced, but the house is in a historic area and the owner wanted them to stay. We are looking into getting our contractors license.

Then there is the side buisness that I have making herbal bath items.

Well, I was a mechanic from '74 til '02 when a motorcyle accident changed my life. After I recovered in mid '06 I tried to return but the body couldn't do it. For the last 6 months I have been working as a body shop estimater, part time. I consider myself to be semi-retired and hope to retire before '08.
I found the blazer forum during my recovery and joined to try to keep my mind working.

I'm a senior web producer for Primedia for Hot Rod & Car Craft Magazines. I also mod/admin their forums and do all of the blog work there. The only real stuff I have in print is in Car Craft and Corvette Fever Magazine every month (I write the "what's on carcraft.com page every month and something similer for Fever). Lately, I've been getting back into more creative photoshop stuff and have been doing wallpapers for hotrod.com along with their current header banner (the f-bomb).

Have a couple years of college under my belt. Originally majored in Political Science and pre-law. After a two year hiatus due to personal matters and a 180 degree turn around in my personal belief system this idea was abandoned. Have decided to go back to college this fall and major in WebPage development (something I might actually enjoy doing for a living). Probably take a course or two in the summer to get my college bearings back. Might finish my associates degree for Poly Sci just because I have all of the credits specific to it already completed. My biggest goal is to get out of the dead-end-job town I've called "home" for the past 7 years. I've gotten a little cynical over the past 3 years, dealing with ungreatful verbally and even occasionally physically abusive customers and its a quality of myself I don't like.

I manage those four. The other buildings (Detroit, MI / China) I do not deal with except phone support and some remote work. But I'm told I might be taking a trip to Detroit!

"Apple Certified Technician" for the NSCC - Nova Scotia Community College



Coordinator for an oilfeild data acquisition company - I keep count of a few million dollars worth of gear which when put on the ground and the ground is shook(either dynamite or large machines that shake the ground) gives the client a reading of what is underneath. Dispatch five 5 man crews on the CB so they know where to lay the gear and also a helicopter pilot so he knows where to drop/pickup the bags of gear. Best part is I drive an 08 Ford F550 with a custom front winch bumper(Warn 12,000 woop!)/sidesteps/bed with a slip tank and take it through some of the worst trails around:)

And when I'm not outwest I usually fish mussels back home and fart around with my Blazer!

I went to school for architectural design. Finished last year. $50,000 in the hole and cant find a single job in the field with this economy. Luckly I have a decent paying job right now, but prefer a job in the field I would enjoy.

Skipping college. waste of $$$ imo. i teach myself everything I need to know (atm I'm a graphic designer/web designer and I earn money doing it)

I dont think its a waste. maybe not now, but later down the road this piece of paper will allow me to make an average of 80-100k a year, compared to 30k without it. To each there own, but I prefer to make the 80-100k. The way I look at it, this 50k I invested now, will pay for itself and then some. In a short period of time. A degree vs no degree, A degree usually wins.

You sir are correct.

Did you go to a University for your masters in it?

I can either do a 7 year course for my masters in it, or a 2 year course for a degree I believe?

No way can I handle 7 years more of school. I need to start making money as soon as I can. I also know someone that just went for the 2 year course and they are doing everything someone with the 7 year can do, and making the same wage.

I'm a HVAC Service Tech. Working on a Assoc. degree 2 days/week right now at Johnston Community College.

Part time Pharmacy Technician, looking to pursue my dream of becoming a Police Officer.

You sir are correct.

Certifications+Degree=140K
Certifications+no Degree = unemployment

too many Paper admins.... Employers dont care if you can take a test... did you go to the class?

now i make $35,000 a year working in a warehouse and im no longer involved in illegal activities.

Congrats! Love hearing stories like yours =)

thanks. these last few years have been quite a transition.

one thing that sucks is i dont have unlimited free time anymore.

I am currently working as a systems administrator for a civil engineering company. We have 3 offices in western PA and I manage the computer systems at all 3.

I also do consulting on the side for a few organizations that I just don't have the heart to blow them off. I've been their "IT" guy for years and it's good side work - its just killing my potential free time.

I am also currently going to Penn State to finish my Information Science and Technology degree. Straight out of high school I went a few years and made some bad choices. I was going downhill until I got the job I am currently at. It paid good by a 20 year old's standards and I dropped out of school. Fast forward 5 years and I started going back for my bachelor's instead of just my associates. I'd like to work as an IT manager at a hospital. It would be nice to be around cute nurses all day and know that in some indirect way I am helping people help other people.

job description change.....sales and service manager for Tampa Bay 4X4 as well as shop manager for Performance Custom Auto both in clearwater FL

I'm a college student, a studio engineer at a local radio station group, and a production assistant/student news producer/director at a local TV station. What can I say? I do it all.
