Turning a passion into a profession!

[Laura's Babies]

I wanted to add that I would take my car to a female mechanic faster than I would a male mechanic and I wouldn't feel like I had to worry about being taken advantage of or being talked down to because I am FEMALE! Again I say "GO FOR IT!".....

I worked in my dad's body shop in high school (my hands were often dirtier then the boys) and I worked in my aunt's detailing shop as an adult.
It's hard work, it smells, hard on the back, your hands get cut all the time, in the winter it's cold in the summer it's hot BUT I enjoyed it as well.
It's not for the old, too hard on the body, it's a young person job. Perhaps some day you will open your own shop and have an all female crew. Women would run to you, would as someone else said trust you more. So go for it. Try it and see how it goes. If you don't like it you can perhaps work in the parts department, that is a bit easier.

I realized that the dirtier, more physically exhausted and somewhat brused after a shift I was the happier I was. I worked a lot of construction jobs and a lot of cushy jobs and I felt most at home physically working in 100 degree heat than sitting on my arse in a climate controlled office. I think its because with harder work, co workers have a lot less time to
b!tch lol.
Idle hands bore me to death!

Good for you! I think a lot of young people should take lessons from you. Too many think that the easier the job, the better they like it, and also that the world owes them! I pity the day for them, when reality comes and bites them in the butt..........
