True!Plus after a while,and you are dirty all the time,cuts on your hands and stuff,buying tools constantly and treated like a slave,you get tired of it.There are lots of things wrong with the job and then I see where some want women to be a mechanic.Why? Being a mechanic I had enough trouble to deal with,without having a woman in the shop along with it.Ive seen shops where a woman worked there and these women who do jobs like men want to do,are usually trouble.Some of them might be good,but I think the whole idea behind getting women to do a mans job is so they can pay her less than they do a man and get away with it.
So getting women to be mechanics is not going to work,saying that people dont want to do it is wrong,they just dont want to pay somebody enough to make a living at it,and for all you have to put up with,it should be a high paying job like a Doctor or something.
Dealers charge way high prices but they have overhead,still they make money.They have to.
The trouble is that you have to be real good to make it as a mechanic.Fast,accurate,and not worry about getting your hands dirty,or gripe about overtime,or being called out at night,and paid well enough to keep them,costs a bunch of money,so they take less than good mechanics,pay them bad,and treat them bad,and they dont do very good work,which gives all mechanics a bad name.
It takes a lot of experience to be a good mechanic,and by the time one gets good,they want to run you off and get somebody cheaper.
Theres a lot of things wrong these days.Nothing has any balance to it.Nobody cares about anybody else,its just how low they can get wages and how much they can get you to do without quitting,and way went past reasonable a long time ago.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
