@itzjustchrizz: How to get into the diesel field or automotive field in general. Everyone wants to do it until you tell em you gotta put in some work. Everyone wants shit easy. Go to the dealerships and apply. Ask if they have any apprenticeship programs. Call Penske, Ryder, other fleet shops. Ask if they offer any apprenticeship programs or take in apprentices. If you have no luck there you gotta go to a technical school for automotive.
My son is a Diesel mechanic, just finished hs, and enrolled in college for Diesel Mechanics. My question is, do you think it’s a job that will be needed for 20-30 yrs, and what’s the end goal, ie pension, retirement etc

If you like doing it then don’t do it. Keep it a hobby because doing it for a living will kill the love for it.

Walmart started one. I got out the oil field for diesel tech. Went to work at a Walmart Dc on there trucks and trailers. They supply it tools. Start you out little over 25. Max out at 40ish. Been doing is for 20 years and man has it changed

IMHO this country would be way better going back to an apprenticeship model vs these schools screwing people

The mechanic field is a joke now days. Auto and diesel. Isn’t worth it at all

I still don’t understand why shops make you buy your own tools. And if they do, they should be paying you 30 bucks an hour or minimum. It’s like working for a tech company and they say you have to buy your own computer. Just my thoughts..
