I made him try to fix his own car (for lulz) on the interview that was pissing oil and I bought him the part. I thought....This dude is gonna get eaten up here so I hired him...Now he's a beast but still a little weak on diagnostics..He went to drive a truck to make $$$ but is coming back after he pays his house off in a year or so.
@ el mech
as a 30 yo who has worked an office job for 8 years...how long would an apprenticeship in an auto shop like you own last...to the point where you could be making 50k / year ?
do family - owned shops take on 30yo apprentices with no experience? or do you have to know what you're doing already?
