[quote=”SpawnedX” post=37025]I know my opinion is not popular with Eric. However, I have to say it.
What do I say to the people who want to get into this industry? Don’t. Turn back, find something else for a career.[/quote]
I’d agree with this piece. Much as Eric might wish to hurl things at me, and there are many factors into the mixture as many have already stated, but this site on it’s own does reflect a few of them.
In addition to those, the list of beaters and cars that need major work in many cases continues to shrink due to government programs(cash for clunkers), and the metal combined with take-off parts being worth more than the car in most cases. Many tend to go in the same vein as current electronics, anything major breaks down, buy another. While I don’t see vehicle repair going the way of the dinosaur completely like TV repair shops, or electronics repair shops in general (which I was actually doing part-time in my youth 20yrs ago), it looks like it will get to be damn close. I don’t see the majority that would wish to get into it making any really good living at it.
