ASE and new job

So today I went down and took 3 ASE tests and passed them all (Engine Repair, Engine Performance, and Auto Electrical). I've already been master certified through the state of Michigan for over 2 years, so now I'm plugging away at the ASE's. What's more, in a week and a half I'm starting a job at a different shop. I'll be working 5 days instead of 6, have benefits, and make roughly 25-30% more. Altogether, I'd say there's some good changes coming for my family and me. The 5 day thing is big, since we have 2 boys, one who's 3 and one who's 7 months. Not only that, but I might actually get some time to work on my Jeeps again :wrench: comanche.gif

When I was living in Michigan, I never understood why the state had a hand in licensing of mechanics. I went and got my autobody license at the time but still thought it was a money scam for the state. Anyways, congrats, and I too have three more ASE's to take to get master certified with Mazda. Good luck.

So halfway through my first week, and I've almost made as much as a typical week at my old job. I'm on track to almost double my income.

 

Think this was a good idea?

 

Of course, I know my hours will go up and down, but as long as there's the work, I can push it out.
