Say your post a few days ago and found myself wanting to come up with some good advice so I will try this way. Young neighbor kid wanted to become a mechanic so he would hang around my shop trying to learn all he could. Comes in one night and said he had been fired and did I have anything to do that I would pay him for. I said sure, that car in the next bay needs a complete brake job. He made some mistakes but none that I hadn't made before and overall he did very good work with minimal suprvision. Well he bounced from one job to another, always being booted for some trivial reason like u joint bearings. Sure did my heart proud when one Sunday afternoon there he was throwing a jack under one of them Nascar cars. Each mistake we make adds to the learning curve wheather the be the skills of our trade or getting along with the boss but it has been my experience that those who strive to be good at what they do will find that boss who really appreciate them. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
