I was told by someone that I should base my studies on what the ecomomy demands at this time of recession. I am not sure still. I am in the automotive maintenance industry and I am interested in admin work/ office work now. What class should I take for admin/office work and little classes what the economy demands ie solar power, electric cars, medical, ect?
I have my 2 year AA already!
Community college isn’t really the place to be doing your major. You are here because you choosed to complete a 2 year program of general education before transfering to a 4 year university for you Carrer
Therefore: you should be knocking off the english / math etc… to meet transfer qualification.

Im looking to make a show car, more modern, and a possbile street racer. I would rather it be a semi old chevy car. I currently have a 1997 chevy s10 but it just wont do, i need a CAR. haha, thank you to anyone who can answer.
Lots of older cars are good show cars because of their age In 1990 -2001 you want to have a special body to make it a special show car. There are mostly (ho-hum) 4 door sedans. A Cavalier covertible would cut it. A Lumina 2 door. and of course the Camero and Corvette

I’m looking for a job at a auto repair shop and was wondering how much hourly pay would a shop such as pep boys or firestone start off as?
Thanks
First write a one page resume summarizing your education and experience. You need that no matter what job you apply for.

I am a Canadian citizen living in Greece. I am a auto mechanic and would like to move back to Toronto Canada and I would like to know what type of documents do I need to start my own auto repair business?
A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.

and do you know anyone that does this?
how expensive a hobby is it and what you would think of someone who did this?..lol
please explain
btw, how common in Britain this? or how about Boat collectors?
thanks for your answers!
I think it’s pretty cool, since you know there was only a limited number of those cars that came out in that year/decade, and many of them have long since been destroyed or are sitting in someone’s field or barn. You also have to have some knowledge about those old cars to rebuild them. I like seeing them drive down the road. It’s kind of weird to imagine that back then, ALL cars looked like that.

and how profitable you think?
and how you can learn to build them? do the kits come with instructions?
how much do you think people would pay you to build them for them? and where you could find customers at?
btw, is this popular in Britain?
You cannot build antique cars as they would then be newly built cars. You can restore antique or old cars back to what they were though but this is very specialised and parts often have to be made specially by the restorer.

im looking for some cars with the same shape as the 1969 Camaro ? any ideas?
Same year Pontiac Firebird
Same year Mustang
Also look into the Mercury Cougar
Look into the Plymouth Barracuda and Dodge Dart GT form the same year.
The Dodge Charger of that era was a wider and larger car, so it’s almost a different candidate.
It’s close cousin would be the Ford Galaxie of the same year, as well as the Mercury Park Lane.
A real nice car from this era is the Pontiac Le Mans. It’s a very underrated car, and it has beautiful lines.

how much these cost and how difficult to put together?
what you would think of someone who put these together as a hobby and sold them?
It took too much time and money.
My 76 years old grandpa has a Jaguar type E convertible.
He is still trying and says it’s difficult.
His best hobby, grandma say anything about it *+*
