These motivated young workers can have rewarding jobs without ever having to earn a 4-year college degree. If you’re interested in cars and don’t know that you want to—or can—go to college, a career in car repair and maintenance might be for you. Young people need only a high school diploma or equivalent to start in car repair and maintenance—and they can eventually earn more than $50,000 a year. In Car Mechanic, you’ll learn how to start a career in auto repair and what you need to succeed in the field. Find out about the prospects for these careers in the future, how much car repair workers can make each year, and whether your path to success includes a career as a car mechanic.
