Passed another ASE

I have 12 ASE certs now. What cracks me up about these is I have been a tech. for 25 years now and work on diesels every day. The guy that runs our lube rack cannot repair an engine for lack of knowledge. We both went and took the diesel ASE test he only missed 2 questions and I failed by 10. To me if you can read their study guide a porter can pass these tests. They show nothing of actual hands on knowledge. BTW he is a retired cop and didnt even change oil until a couple years ago so to me it doesnt prove you can do the work.


At every job I have worked I have been told by my employer that I have the most talent they have seen for diagnosing and repair.

I know people with MBO's that can barely tie thier own shoes. Education doesn't gaurantee competence. I delt with many fkhead graduate motorcycle mechanics that didn't know how to "use" a mercury stack. Yeah, they figured out how to hook it up, but didn't really know how to sync carbs, or what the readings meant.

Not all of them were like this, just 99% of them were. No school can teach apttitude and/or wisdom......
