T-Ten Program, Anybody in it? Or done it? Options

[samir0189]

Hey guys. Im at a point in my young life where i dont know what i want to do with myself.

Im strongly considering the toyota technician program, i really love working on my and other people's cars when i have free time and now im thinking, well maybe i could make a career out of it!

Anyway, i was just looking for information from anybody or thoughts on the program, experiences or life as a mechanic, you know, whatever.

Any input is welcome, im so lost.


I guess, uh, well ill just include that im nearly done with 2 years of gen ed studies but absolutely 0 of the career options interest me.

my uncle has been a toyota mechanic for many years now... he has helped with all of our toyotas and is the main reason why i will only own toyotas.. lol. but he tells me that if you have a passion for working on cars, especially when it's NOT yours, then you should go for it. but he says that in the long run you will likely have muscle and joint pains even back pains. better start young while you still have the strength and motivation.

and being a certified mechanic at a dealership is generally MUCH better than being a mechanic at some private or small shops.. higher wage, better job security and work conditions, less stress, cleaner environment, etc etc etc........
