This book introduces readers to all the various jobs possible within the field, as well as the range of vehicles and engines mechanics can work on, from lawn mowers and weed whackers to foreign sports cars, city buses, yachts, and even jet fighters and rockets. Most importantly, this book maps out the educational, training, and professional path that should be followed to get the reader to a true safe haven from economic uncertainty.
