2 . Professional Training

Professional training in mechanics and service technician fields typically begin in high school. Students have the option to take professional classes at local career centers in lieu of traditional classes such as history and economics. These classes help students prepare themselves for a career in mechanics by teaching them skills they will need in the future. They may also have the option to take part in an apprenticeship, or internship program during their last year in school. This places the student directly into the field, and gives them experiences they could not learn in a classroom. Students who take part in internship or apprenticeship programs are able to hone their skills, and determine if the position is right for their lifestyle. Those who decide to make a career change later in life can look to local community colleges to take classes, and earn an Associate’s degree. This degree program works the same way as a career center, by exposing older students to a two-year program. The course work includes specific classes, training, and a short internship. Those who are interested in a specific career area can look for training centers that provide courses devoted to that field. For example, mechanics who hope to one day work in NASCAR can take classes at their field school in Mooresville, North Carolina.

3 . Front-end Mechanics

Front-end mechanics are one of the most popular career choices in the field of mechanics and technicians. These workers specialize in the steering and handling of the automobile, and may sometimes be called upon to work on the wheel support system too. Front-end mechanics also work to keep the balance and alignment of the wheel base in working order. These are also the professionals who work with electrical systems when needed, and sometimes handle other problems as they arise. The front-end mechanic is responsible for identifying problems in the vehicle, and finding solutions to fix that problem. Once the vehicle has been fixed, the mechanic will take it on a test drive before turning it over to the owner. Those who are interested in this profession should have strong mathematical, analytical, and reasoning skills as well as a high proficiency in computers. Workers need to stay up to date on current technology in the automotive field, and maintain communication skills when working with customers. The latest research has shown that individuals in this profession earn an average of $14.71 per hour, while the general hourly wage falls between $8.14-$25.21 depending on the employer. Those who have found the greatest success in the field of front-end mechanics have attended a type of training school, be it in high school or at the community college level. The outlook for this profession continues to look strong.

4 . Automotive Body Repairers

The field of automotive body repairers and technicians is rapidly growing, and the outlook continues to look strong. Even as technology creates better vehicles that can last far longer, repairers and technicians will always be needed to fix damages that arise from simple fender benders. The average salary for professions in this field ranges from $8.70 to $27.10, with a median hourly rate of $15.71. Some workers are paid on a commission basis, meaning they are given a salary that depends on the amount of work completed, and the type of work completed. Certain jobs that require more work, and take longer to complete will receive a higher amount than the smaller jobs. Automotive body repairers are responsible for repairing any damage done to a vehicle, and bringing it back to its original condition. These may involve replacing plastic pieces, finding new parts, and knocking out dents in the metal. Workers in this field must be capable of working in a group setting, as well as being able to follow directions. Having strong computer skills and the ability to understand complex technical manuals may also be a bonus. Most workers in this field begin by taking classes on auto body repair, followed by hands on work in an internship setting.
