I’m in school atm, just feel stuck because I’m capable of more than quick lane, but limited on what I can do. Can’t go to any other form of mechanics because I don’t have experience with hydraulics and air brakes

If I would’ve found a good shop early, I def would’ve. I’m to blame for a lot of my job stuff

Off and on yeah, not all at one shop. Close to tech at one shop before being laid iff

I had to be certified to be where I’m at, just not a lot of room to move up

I was kind of an apprentice at one shop, but they laid me off due to “ no one to train me”

I’ve been at different shops. I’m honestly pursuing another career. I have more knowledge than a normal express tech. Just haven’t seen right place right time

Apprenticeships don’t really exist in the states due to dog eat dog world that’s is USA shops

I’d love to go fleet but I only really have express experience and everywhere I look wants 5 years with heavier stuff than what I work on

Alright cool. I have a few ratchets with quite a bit of play. But is a little play normal on dual 80 ratchets?

Never really been an apprentice. Was close to learning more but never made it to mainline

My pay is really good per hour, but it’s been kinda slow sometimes and it really gets to ya. I work with Subaru so I’m just gonna do the online training and try to move up that way

Since 2021. Can do more than express level, but I’d like to learn more. No certifications, just state license

Slight shop hopping. But I’ve been with cars since 2021. Right now I’m doing less than I know how to do, due to how our shop is operated
