I always loved taking things a part. My parents hated it. I guess you know you just know. Alot of people get in it for different reasons. I just enjoy working on things. Also, I enjoy seeing thing that are broken running after I worked on it. Doing thing only others wish they could do.

Tobias’s Answer
I chose to pursue a career as a certified mechanic due to my deep-rooted passion for automobiles and driving, a fascination that started when I was just a youngster. I was always intrigued by the inner workings of cars - what each part did, the function of the pedals, and the mechanics behind the car's movement. I was curious about how the controls inside the car contributed to its overall functionality. Growing up, my father owned a variety of cars. Observing the similarities and differences among them sparked my curiosity and fueled my experimental spirit. This exposure to a multitude of cars during my childhood and teenage years solidified my decision to become a mechanic.

After high school I went straight to college and started on my pre-requisites. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I was taking some health classes in high school because I thought about getting into the medical field. But it wasn’t for me, I knew I liked a fast paced, labor driven job. So I stopped college, started working as a quality inspector, and they had an opening for there apprenticeship program where I work at now. I signed up, now 5 years later, I am a certified Journeyman industrial mechanic. I do love working on things, I love my job and I love learning new things. Getting this job made me want to learn more, not just in the trade but overall, I just like to learn. So now I am signed up to become an electrician where I work, and next step is to get into programming and keep moving up and maybe on to another company from there.
