I really don't know too much ---- about cars but i'm sure anyone with some motivation, time and books(maybe) could tackle any type of car problem.

I understand this but it would be a lot easier to get a job in the field with the degree than just telling them you have rebuilt some motors and done this and that

do what you love to do, but keep in mind that being a mechanic is hard work, and lots of skill. if it's alot money you're after, then get ready to put in 6 years of school and basicaly having no life in those 6 years.

if you want to be an ase ceritified mechanic, all you need to do is pass an exam and write down a reference (could be a fake reference) that you've worked as a mechanic for 2 years. that's it! but the test would be rather difficult for you since you haven't been a mechanic for 2 years, but you can study and if you fail you can take it again in 4 months. check with your community college, or city tech school about the testing, or the ase certification people themselves, search on the internet.

Depends you can make alot of money being a mechanic, my friend down in Huston, Texas is going to UTI and he said that at this BMW dealer the electrician makes 120,000 a year i think thats good enough pay for anyone, ---- my dad makes 60,000 a year and we live just fine, i can't image 120,000 a year damn.

you have to remember that the cost of living is different in different places. you could live fat off of $50,000 if you're single and just have an apartment where I live, but take that same $50,000 a year to southern california and you'd be lucky to survive living in your car.

So your telling me in califorina 10,000 a month isn't enough to support a family of lets say 3 or 4? I think that would be some decent living almost anywhere cost of living isn't that big of difference. I'm not saying it won't be more expinsive i believe that but come on how many can of you here can say you make 10,000 a month.

my example was hugely disproportioned, but the idea is that cost of living differs in different areas.

True, True. ;D I was just stating 10,000 a month is good enough for me, i'd save up and buy a Skyline after having some really awesome decked out Honda's.
