Diesel or Auto Mechanic

[2bar1g]

I was in your position this spring/summer. I was enrolled to go to wyotech, thinking I wanted to have a career working on cars, but I realized I would ruin an infatuation that I loved. Put it this way, you go to work, wrench. Come home, wrench some more on the project(s) you have sitting around. Pretty soon you lose motivation to complete the projects, start a part out thread and lose money in the process. You then don't really enjoy your job as much as you thought you would, start to slack, and eventually get sick of the career. And now you want to go into a different field, but you can't because it's just not possible to go back to school.

At least this is what I thought might happen to me. Now I’m getting my generals done at a community college and figuring out what I really want to do as a career.

Just don't spoil a passion that you have.
