A career where physics would be involved and research of making engines better and more efficient. More of a scientist job than a mechanics job, if you get what I'm saying? You would still be able to work on engines and possibly develop future engine designs, while still doing a scientist job of observing and questioning things. Also there would be a lot of use with CAD and 3D drawing programs. I've already looked at being an industrial designer, but I don't have the creativity needed to successfully pursue that career. I'm more into the understanding of math and physics and making sure everything is accurate. Also anything involving the aerospace field would work also.

Floyd is now working on a job that pays $8,000 per year. He is contemplating a 1 year automobile mechanics course that entails costs of $1,000 for books and tuition. Floyd estimates that the course will increase his income to $13,000 in each of the 3 years following completion of the course. At the end of those three years, Floyd plans to retire. The current interest rate is 10 percent. Is it economically rational for Floyd to enroll in the course?

My husband is almost done with his ASE Master Mechanic Certification. His starting Salary at 20 years old was 21 dollars an hour. Now 4 years later and almost done with his Masters, how much better should his income become? He did go to UTI in Indiana and finish his program in 18 months. However to become a Master you need more education and training. If it helps we live in michigan.

I am asking about automechanics in general. My idea is somebody who started working on cars at a real young age, they started with on the job training then obtained a two year degree, they can make an automobile new again without spending unnecessary money, They have all the right tools and they know how to use them., and they are pay attention to detail. What would your requirements be?
