lol...i been here in cowtown, colorado ....i have kept somewhat secluded and been collecting cars. lol i learned the hard way to not get involved with other ppl's restoration projects....... a few years ago i attempted to restore a friends roadrunner ....thinking that i would make good money and still get him a significant discount.........that all failed when he expectied it all to be done like tomorrow and for about half of what it actually cost in the end.
so now i restore my own junk and dont mix anyone else in LOL
from what im seeing in this thread is that auto industry is for young whippersnappers......it seems to have great physical demand which is my problem. im 26 now but now what about the future ....what if i ever get married and start a family ....can i wrench while pregnant? would a shop give maternity leave? these are all good questions leaning for the future ........is there a physical requirement to be a transmission builder .....im 4'10" 86lbs. .......do i have enough strentgh to be a good tech/ mechanic without other ppl's help ? this thread is starting to make me think that despite my drive to be a mechanic/ tech ...it might not be a good idea for the long term future....the majority opinion in here seems to be: bail while you can and stick with your privately owned projects
there seems to be too many "what ifs" in the auto industry for everyone, not just me but everyone
