SAN ANTONIO - According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are not enough mechanics in the country.

People in the industry say people are losing interest in the field because they may not realize what it has to offer. Future mechanics need to be highly trained technicians who can pinpoint problems and figure out an answer.. not just change the oil.

Current mechanics say the jobs are good, plentiful, and pay well.

I agree, it used to be if your occupation were a mechanic you'd be shown the respect you earned. Now you have to have a degree in international studies or be a marine biologist feeding a lazyass oversized mammal a fish at Sea World. Now we have a shortage, what a shock.

Ah but today everyone is supposed to go to college, not technical or apprentice schools. Even if you wind up majoring in some worthless degree like liberal arts all the educrats and politicians do is push college, college, college. Your a failure if you don't go to college. Meanwhile you cant find a good mechanic and those who are good at it are cleaning up with no college debt, good wages and job security.

To all you "damm illegals are taking our jobs" here is your chance. I do have to warn you, you may not be in an air-conditioned office, you may get dirty, and you might even have to do some WORK.
