Nathan, I worked on the line in auto and truck shops when I was young. Money was great and I loved fixing cars and heavy trucks. After 5 years, I was able to hire on with a major auto / truck mfg. where I have now worked for 33 years. Believe me, the degree does make the difference if you want to come off the repair line in dealerships and work for a mfg. where the advancement opportunities are wide open and the benefit / retirement packages are much better than a dealership can afford to offer. The whole auto / truck / farm implement / heavy equipment industry are in dire need of good technical people in all facets of the business. Look for a good technical college and get the best degree you can to go along with your technical trainng skills. Remember.... if you have a skilled trade, no one can take that away from you. In the automotive or truck industry, you are only limited by your own level of ambition..... Good luck, we need more young men with your technical desires.
