Being high school instructors, we make it a point to get our students thinking about what they’re going to do for a career when they leave the school.
- Most of them don’t like such discussions, and that is why you hear about those youngsters who are still living in the basement of their folks home and playing video games all day.
We strive for that not to be their outcome. That being said, not all of our students have the ability to go to college, and some of them just aren’t bright or ambitious enough. Plus, many of them just have no interest in spending all that time in colleges studying courses they hate. Some of our students are Hands-On learners, especially for those kinesthetic learners. We always talk to them about Auto Shop careers. Auto Shop careers can give a lot of self-satisfaction , and they are really needed in our society. It’s not just mechanics that people can be, either. Artistic students can find work at Automotive customization shops where they can do vinyl wrapping on cars or paint cars and put on paint protection motion pictures. In addition, they can specialize in vehicle detailing. Have you ever gotten your vehicle detailed? Were you shocked by the amount you had to pay? We definitely were shocked, and are certain that the people who do vehicle detailing are making a pretty fine living from the work. At the present moment, there are even vehicle window tints that can be put on in an artistic fashion or that are actually artistic appearance. The best vehicle customization shops will have people who specialize in different areas. They need professionals who can do window tinting, vehicle performance modifications, vehicle wrapping, suspension lowering and installing aftermarket performance vehicle parts.
