200% agree.

And don't go to any schooling unless it's free. Hands on is the only way to learn. Ask questions to competent coworkers. I say competent. Just cause they own a set of tools, don't mean they are a mechanic. I work on for a fleet with 5 other guys, and I wouldn't let any of them work on my lawnmower.

I am double ASE Master Tech in auto and heavy w/14 years in mom&pop shops, race shops, and now a 48-truck fleet of heavy diesel.
