Not going to go deep into the backstory but here are the basic details:
>25yo
>uni grad but degree is useless
>was a Audi tech for 1.5years as temp job after graduating
>locked out of chosen career options due to disability (didn't anticipate it being as big of a problem as it has been)
>really getting desperate for a stable job having recently moved states
>only real skills I could make a job is being a wrencher
I worked as a quick service tech at an Audi dealership and within months of hiring me, they wanted to move me up to the advanced training group and get me on Audi's fast track training program to get me into the main shop. I declined because I knew I was going to move soon and I hated being a tech. In retrospect, I hated it because I was quick service and Audi aren't the easiest to work on, t. the senior techs.
If it comes to it, I'm not entirely opposed to becoming a tech again. My only qualifications is being a DIY wrencher and working at Audi. Don't have any ASE certs or anything like that. If anything, I could get a job at a quick service shop while I study for ASE certs to broaden my job opportunities. I've heard that being a fleet tech is the best way to go. That true? Being a tech at independent shops is ass and being a dealer tech is a bit better, but you have to bust your ass all day to make good hours based on what I saw at Audi. If being a fleet tech is out for whatever reason, and becoming a dealer tech is the best I can land, what brand would be the best to go for/least shitty to work on?
