Here in the philippines being an auto mechanic is usually looked down as a job for the uneducated it's funny how we filipinos think we should respect our mechanics more you see... we depend a lot on our cars and you're saying the person who's working on your car is uneducated? tsk tsk tsk again we should respect them more fixing a car is no simple matter and even a simple busted light will make you crawl into your car to find a single connection or maybe fuse that may have been damaged or simply just came loose my uncle was a good car mechanic and i spent countless hours just watching him work and sometimes I'd help him. This must be the reason why I love tinkering with my car and fix the little things. The big and complicated stuff i leave to the experts. I would like to learn metal working though so maybe i will start with my beetle just as soon as i have enough money to pay for my mistakes if i commit them. i want to be an auto mechanic, metal worker, welder, electrician and customizer woo hoo career path in the near future

hi chipsterkhan here in the US mechanics that are good make more money than a lot of office workers who think they are better educated. It takes real brains to be able to repair break downs in cars and trucks and etc. We do not really look down on them as we depend on maintaining our vehicles thus we depend on good mechanics.
