what a ****ing prick...so because Jason doesn't feel the need to rip off his customers he's an idiot and he doesn't have talent

riiiiight

what a prick this guy is

I'm willing to bet some of the best, most skilled mechanics are the guys like Jason that just run their shop, run it honestly, and charge an actual fair price...

rather than jacking everything up and making up "issues" to try and get more $$$ out of each customer when they walk through the door

And you'd be wrong, the absolute best mechanics out there, don't actually do mechanic work anymore, most of them have moved on to become educators. The real superb mechanics are elite professionals in most racing industries, or move up the stealership foodchain to "consultant" levels, which is likely my next step.

You don't need your doctorate to do an oil change, but with the growing degree of technology in cars these days, pretty soon you'll need a bachelors to do an overhaul.

At least, you'll probably need a bachelors to get hired in the first place.

That's just how the industry works. Do you think I'd have the position I have right now if I were just a high school graduate like Jason over there?

Not a snowballs chance in hell kid.

you need a bachelors to change a side mirror eh?

Might as well get that masters...

I can only imagine the hiring manager at Jiffy Lube looking at an actual resume and seeing 'Masters' degree on the thing...

I'm sure the conversation at the local Jiffy Lube with the new guy and his masters degree with old 30 year old vet Zed would be quite stimulating.

you're a ****ing dipshit...my maintenance guy is dumber than a box of ****ing rocks but knows everything there is to know about cars and fixing cars...

pretty sure he doesn't have his masters degree but I could be wrong
