Smoke on Start-up

Choosing to be a Mechanic

i wanted to hear your guys' opinions on choosing automotive service as a career. the financial aspects, the social aspects, all of it. my love for cars is solid, but the dirt and grease and "class" are always being put into consideration on whether to make this a career choice. thank you i...
