Im at a cross between electrician, automotive technician, welding, carpenter, and diesel technician. I just want a job that i can take pride in my work, have set rules (like math), and something that pays pretty well too. Hands on is the main thing i want though. Also i want something that will keep me busy year round and something that doesn't get boring. Also i want to work for a company that offers benefits and have room for advancement.

There's a job opening at a local Cummins shop for an entry level diesel mechanic. The job requirements don't include any sort of a degree other than HS diploma. I don't have a degree beyond HS and I've never worked with engines, but this job really interests me. What are they looking for in this type of a position? Do they typically hire people who don't have a degree related to the job? Are women more/less likely to receive a job offer?

Well I took my car in and had a daignostic done for free and the scanner said I had excessive flow to the EGR valve. The guy who ran the test said I might have a leak in the vacume tube going to the valve or buildup on the valve itself. I'm a computer technician so I don't know a lot about cars. Is there a specific way to replace this valve or can I just remove the valve and hose put a new one on and reconnect the hose? any help would be awesome thanks!

What province, city, etc will give me highest chance of a job, and the highest pay?
1 answer - Asked By: cockatieluno - 10/15/2008
Im so confused on which school to choose from. I've narrowed it down to Lincoln Tech and Ivy Tech. I'd like to know which school would be better choice. Maybe someone who attended either one could give me some advice. If it helps I would take just the regular automotive classes with high performance at Lincoln Tech and maybe either a Associate of Applied Science Degree for Automotive Service or a Technical Certificate for Auto Service at Ivy Tech. OPIONS "ARE" WELCOME!
