Good morning all you good people!
Happy Tuesday 🙌🏾
I want more men and women involved in trade skills. If you have anyone close to you involved in a trade keep a close eye on them, ask them if you can shadow a service, or just ask questions about learning a trade what are their experiences with their specific trade.; learn the good and the bad!
In other words, when I began to learn about trades and really take them seriously I was in my early 20s but I’d been intrigued and surrounded by them all my life. One thing I do understand, but don’t necessarily respond to are the questions; are you licensed, are you a certified mechanic, do you work on this type of vehicle? I immediately say no ma’am or no sir - and I keep it pushing. I don’t want you to feel unsure, insecure or anything of that nature with me doing anything to your vehicle. Go with your first mind!
Although I do have certifications in certain areas in automotive industry I do not have them all and I’d rather not waste time going through what I have and what it means I “can work on” I’ve learned a lot by trial and error and I’ve seen a lot. No school, instructor or book can teach real life experiences.
Have a great day!
