@thedieselqueen: You aren't stupid. The imperfect education system is just not built for you. Believe it or not, these "learning disabilities" that you've been labeled with, can actually help you excel in the trades. Yes, I most definitely have ADD. but believe it or not, it actually helped me when it came to my job as a diesel mechanic. I was able to hone that and use it to my advantage. I was great at juggling one big job and three or four smaller jobs at one time. Obviously it took some time for me to hone that, but it turned out to be an advantage. #skipcollegelearnatrade #tradeschool #skipcollegepickatrade #heavyequipmentmechanic #femalemechanic #dieselmechanic #bluecollar
I went to wto tech in 1996…… even though I’m not turning wrenches anymore…. But it was the best thing for me…

Truer words where never spoken. Teachers are the problem.They like to put labels on people rather than TEACH.
