The automotive repair industry is always looking for new technicians. Like many others, we advertise and promote this career path so that we hopefully attract younger generations to become involved.But how do we do that? If your career started in the last century, choosing automotive was most likely not even a choice. Times were different and we grew up in a mechanical world. By the time you were of driving age, you already had your hands under the hood of something and probably already had some wheel time under your belt, license or not. You had a knack for fixing cars and probably a love of the hobby. It was just the thing to do. You were a mechanic. Today's technology needs fresh minds and young bodies. We need those who grew up with electronics and computers. We need technicians. Those of us on the downward slope of our careers started as mechanics and learned, studied and equipped ourselves to be successful with the modern title of technician. Perhaps a modern career in automotive will develop in reverse, but regardless of how it works out, the benefits are the same.
