I wanted to be an auto mechanic. It's a lot harder to break into the field than it sounds. There are 2 mechanic programs around here but you have to already work as a mechanic or be sponsored by a dealership to get accepted into the program. But, nobody will take you in unless you know what you are doing. So, pretty much, it sounds like you have to grow up with a family member who is a mechanic to get into it. Or maybe the military? My current profession is IT related.

Well if you grow up with a family mechanic and get experience but no schooling then you are in the same boat pretty much.

Yep. The point I was making is that you can't even get into the school without the experience. But you can't get experience without the schooling.. unless you know someone willing to teach you and sponsor you who is a licensed mechanic.
