I've been thinking over a few potential career paths and so far I've been considering a career (possibly apprenticeship?) as a motor mechanic. Don't mind dirty/physically demanding work too much, like working with my hands (generally), love solving problems/thinking, mediocre maths skills, not too worried about pay. Right now I'm planning on trying to get some work experience/volunteer work, or simply tag along in a garage, to see what I can learn and see if I enjoy it. But I've got a few concerns:
1) I know absolutely *nothing* about cars, only recently have I taken an interest in them. Will this be a major problem?
2) I'm worried that if I go through college my skills will soon become redundant, especially with the rate technology is advancing; having to learn about all this new technology and electronics will be a pain. Thoughts?
3) Could you provide some examples where mathematics will come in handy in mechanics? Will I have to dust off my mathematics skills a lot?
