The thing is, Ill have my associates in automotive technology so the first thing to do would be go out and work at a dealership right? Well I have a connection at a bmw dealership, but im afraid that I dont know what im doing. I dont want comebacks, dont want to get a job then take forever diagnosing a problem and getting screwed at flat rate. Guess im just nervous.

everyone starts in that same position. gotta learn. experience is what make you better

I got raped by every final I had lol. 55% on my steering and suspension final witch is bullshit because all my test and midterm tests were no lower then a 98%. English final was shitty but at least no more english ever again. Scuba final was decent but I got a B in that class and was shooting for a A. And my hybrids final, well lets just say thank god hes curving our final grades.

Atleast you got most of the scratch out dude...

Better then having your rear quarted kicked in by some random fuckwit while you're at work and cant do anything about it...

Probes have notoriously weak quarters in the "bubbled/rounded" section, and EVERYTIME we would be bullshitting back in the day at high school, someone would lean against it and crease it. Nothing pissed me off worse, until...

My newest probe;
Apexi DECS Tach
Autometer boost gauge
Autometer oil pressure
Autometer water temp
Autometer fuel level

Someone pryed the fuck out of my hatch, and busted out both of my QUARTER windows (wtf, the goddamn doors were unlocked, and dont have a full door frame anyways) to steal that list of parts, but for some reason left the Profec Spec B II EBC, turbo timer, and EMS laying in the car?

Dude, I think EVERYONE is nervous starting a career, dont sweat it, I'm sure the dealership will start you out doing smaller stuff, and let you get up to speed.

we get experience in class, but im just worried im going to forget what I learned. Plus that flat rate shit scares the shit out of me haha. Id much rather due the business of it. I might go for another 2 years and get my bachelorette degree in the business part.

class =/= real life

being under the gun is where the real experience is

Troof.

I was once told by an old timer when I was just a wee lad, this;

"95% of mechanical inclination and know how comes from need".


And it is very true. At 2m when your alternator goes out in bumfuck egypt and you're 16 having never done any real work on a car, you get that shit done.

we work on customers cars, but there is no deadline so its mostly just dicking around.

100%

When we were taught techniques to deal with people as part of the training to obtain your licence for security, they didnt say anything about drugged up mental paitents that attck cops, and that you have to physically tackle them off, nor that it usually takes 6 grown men to restrain them...

You just dive right in there...

having deadlines is the biggest part of the job. anyone can do the actual work, but getting it done in a timely manner is what counts
