Life changing moments, you don't forget those. Getting married, the birth of a child, starting a new career, when you set out on a new path for your life, those are pretty memorable moments. However, there are also those moments that are just as important, but instead of starting down a new path you put a "Do Not Enter" sign on it. That was the day I decided I was never going to be a mechanic.
I could've had a good life as a mechanic. Learning from the best mechanic around, being able to take over the family business, it would've been easy. My ten year old brain even went through the checklist of all the fun things that a mechanic gets to do everyday.
Getting greasy and dirty? - check
Using tools everyday? - check
especially a tool like a B.F.H.? - check
working on many different types of cool cars? - check
Saying what a B.F.H. actually was? - check
Cool, right? But then I noticed some other things about being a mechanic that weren't so great.
