For those of you who are tired of getting your auto fix by continuously
customizing and modifying your own car, or gluing yourselves to TV shows
like "American Choppers" or "Pimp my Ride", there are ways to expand --
automotive technology could be a lucrative career instead of just a way
of letting the day speed by on the couch.
Automotive technology
schools provide students with the possibility of blending their
technical and creative passions together. Your interest in design, form,
color, and presentation can be satisfied along with your desire to
problem solve, tinker, experiment, and work with ever-evolving
technology and science.
According to the National Automotive
Technicians Education Foundation, professional automotive technicians
can earn $60,000 or more per year with the appropriate training -- and
with good reason. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, pros in
the field are in demand, with over 800,000 automotive technicians
employed as of 2004. As the number of multi-car families continues to
increase, job opportunities for automotive technicians are expected to
grow as well.
An automotive technician career isn't the same as
it was 10 years ago, and as a result automotive technology schools have
had to update their curriculum accordingly. With global positioning
systems, Internet access, and alternate-fuel systems among the many
increasingly common technological advancements found in cars, students
at automotive technology schools cannot complete their training without
knowledge in these fields. In fact, according to the College Board, more
automotive technology schools are now even offering courses in stress
management and customer service.
Not that automotive technology
should be a stressful job -- to the contrary, a successful automotive
technician is one who is passionate about his or her career. But let's
face it, cars are a big part of the way we live and keeping them on the
road is no small task. According to the Center for Automotive Research,
by the year 2000, there were about 217 million vehicles on the road in
the U.S., traveling 2.5 trillion miles, and consuming 160 billion
gallons of gasoline. So sure, the job can get a little stressful at
times -- which is why an automotive technology career relies on
education during crunch time.
Once you've received your training
from an automotive technology school, certification is the only thing
standing between you and your career. Voluntary certification by ASE is
the standard credential in the automotive industry. Your certification
will be in a specialty field of your choice, of which there are eight.
These include electrical systems, engine repair, brake systems,
suspension and steering, and heating and air-conditioning. Master
automobile technicians are certified in all eight areas .
