Do we need more mechanics?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46829points) March 9th, 2012

In our society today, there is such a big push on for everyone to get a four-year college degree…and we’re losing some of our best ground-level engineers.

There was a small engine(mainly lawn mowers) repair shop here in town for decades. My husband (who is one of the few real mechanics I know) and I owned it for the last four years. We shut it down in 2007 (a couple of people actually got mad at us!) and no one has followed in our footsteps.

We had a car repair shop in town that has been here since the 50’s. They retired a few years ago and now we have no car repair shop.

We NEED those people.
