I totally agree with those things.

Design cars - again coming under the automotive engineering lol

A smog tester? That seems like a whole lotta work for very little gain. Not something i want to be doing in 10 years.

Photographer? Thats very hit and miss...

I make a good leader, im hard working, motivated, eager to learn, pretty computer literate, pretty car literate.

I would love to test cars

 

Than i would look towards a mechanical engineering degree electrical engineering automotive engineering all degrees that will help i am half way done with an EE (electrical engineering degree) but when i get out i plan on like att or raytheon unless i decide to do UTI sometime but thats really good to be that motivated to do it my cousin just got done with a ME after 5 years and he said it was hard but worth it. The best thing to do is look at what schools offer the program and what you can afford and remember a degree from eastern new mexico is the same degree from Cal state its your grades through out the program that make the big differencs

 

Thats already on my list...

 

sebba you seem like a well rounded kid, and your willing to learn and can take advice. If your looking to open a shop, i could tell you, being as though i've owned one for 13 years now, it's fun. AT TIMES. The way i started was just like you, loved cars and wanted to work on them, but i knew just high performance wasn't going to make me rich. (not that i am now but still). So i studying for 1 and half and got my master technician license. I'll tell you it's something you have to love, becuase you have to deal with it on a daily basis. You have to be enthused about installing a full turbo upgrade, as much as doing brakes on a crappy jetta. The money is well, if you do your finances right.

You could also, with the master tech license run a service drive and make 90k + a year.
You could also take courses to teach others how to drive, and become a dial in driver at a race track. Where people pay you to teach them how to drive. And pay you to drive their cars.
You seem like a hands on type of kid, so choose something that you truely would love. I can only give you a glimpse of what i do, hopefully you learn from it and derive your own path.

Thanks man, I apreciate it

 

Why dont i just come work for you? lol

 

well i require brakes and coolant system ASE certifications for all my employees, and willingness to learn. These degree's are very easy and wont take more then 2 months to get. I pay them well, more then at the standard dealership. If ever you leave England and are in the Miami area, i'll for sure give you a hand.
