thats why i have a B.A :smt045


i have alot of interviews lined up. i think that guys 18-23 get caught up in that "o i love cars im gonna take auto classes" yah thats not that the industy needs and i duno if u want to make a career out of wrenching.over 20,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in my area. jobs want higher qualified people for positions. before you could get away with a high school diploma. not anymore, an associates is the least and a bachelors will get you a call back :smt045

I wrench for a living and now I'm unemployed. The auto market sucks right now. Nobody is hiring and all the dealerships are laying people off.

I wrench also but plan to get out of it as soon as i finish my college i'm findin something new to do.

Idk about u guys but I lik e steady paycheck and job security, in the shops is the wroooooong place for that.

I thought about taking some business managment classes, and going out west where they are growing so fast and starting a lawn care company....

ah young grasshoppa......if i was you, i would kick into high gear or you will get left behind in this job market. its not about taking specific classes unless you have a major decided. then their are core classes and pre-reqs. pre-reqs are really important in order to move up the chain.core classes are a must have in order to graduate. one of my sociology profs told me "college isnt hear to teach, but to make you think differently." one i graduated that never became more tru. OCC sucks, trust me i was their and will be bak their during Police Academy time. i am not a fan of Community colleges AT ALL. it only pushed my graduation further back.OU is the best, or atleast i thought it was a freakin great school.
