[QUOTE="ORVietVet, post: 27417, member: 9438"] This automotive/light truck tech career can still be a great career but the majority of techs nowadays are turning in to parts changers. Lots of jobs out there but parts changers salaries are not as much and independent shops need more qualified techs than the dealerships do. The dealerships are advertising that they will "train on the job". Train to just throw parts at a problem, but to be honest about it, the parts assemblies are now a lot of "module" assemblies that encompass so many systems all in one unit. The headlights swap out, not just a bulb, is an example of this. [/QUOTE]
