Porsche Mechanic as a Career Choice

[Topless]

Congratulations and thank you for your service. My son in law was recently honorably discharged from the USMC after 9 years of service. He was last stationed at Miramar and they live in Oceanside.

A couple of realities: The average Master Porsche Tech in SoCal makes about $45k/yr. This means that 1/2 make more and 1/2 make less. Very few make over $60k unless they work 60 hr weeks. With your degree and experience you should be able to make a lot more $$ in a business environment instead of turning wrenches. Find a business that suits your personality and talents and get established.

Your local PCA is a great way to make contacts with existing business owners who manage commercial real estate, operate successful machine shop and fabrication facilities, build rockets, fabricate F-1 parts, supply medical equipment to hospitals and on and on. These are often the most successful business leaders in the area. Time to make some new friends?

Getting back to this thread. I actually got an AS degree in Auto Mechanic in high school (Don Bosco Tech in San Gabriel, CA - check them out) in addition to a HS diploma. One summer wrenching on cars at a local shop cured my desire to do this type of work. It's dirty, you generally are exposed to the environment and as you get older can be back breaking. I went off to college and got a business degree and have never regretted it.
