Participant[quote=flu]… It’s not rocket science and doesn’t really require *that* much special training. Most of the time, the only difference separating you versus your german mechanic is that he has the factory repair guide that they manufacturer typically does not release to normal people. But all he/she is doing is just following a flowchart.[/quote]
flu, you forgot to mention here that your “german mechanic” is separating you from a LOT of your money. I don’t know about you, but I just got “separated” from $534 last month by my Japanese mechanic. Folks that use mechanics for bigger, more expensive jobs do NOT have all the latest “electronics” on their vehicles. These folks are typically the owners of vehicles more than eight years old. If you have the know-how and tools to perform the work on your vehicles that doesn’t “require *that* much special training,” then why do you pay thru the nose for the services of your “german mechanic??”
I think automotive technicians in most specialties do fine and are plenty busy if they have F/T work. I know these garages have overhead but they charge the customer $80 up per hr to work on their vehicles! How much of this do they have to pay their “certified mechanics” per hr so as not to have them defect to the next garage??

February 1, 2011 at 5:59 PM #661170ParticipantI found just DECA online. It’s a great program and still around . . . somewhere, at least.
http://www.deca.org/membership/highschool/
DECA members can begin their experience as early as the ninth grade by enrolling in a marketing, finance, hospitality, business management or entrepreneurship course. DECA Career ClustersThey can retain their membership in DECA as long as they are actively pursuing courses in one of the content areas. As part of a high school chapter, DECA members can take full advantage of DECA activities described below while preparing themselves to be college and career ready upon graduation.
High school students join DECA through their high school chapter, often advised by a faculty member responsible for course content in one of the above career areas. High school chapters are recognized and chartered by the state or provincial association.
[img_assist|nid=14567|title=DECA Career Cluster|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=229|height=229]
DECA membership is open year-round; however, some states/provinces have eligibility deadlines to participate in conferences and competitive events. The deadline for all DECA International Career Development Conference competitors is March 1.
Problem: If the HS’s don’t offer any classes in this subject area, how can a HS chapter be formed??

Participant[quote=zk]Sure, work on fixing illegal immigrant costs. But, after that, what would you do, exactly, faterikcartman, to fix the budget?
[/quote]
So I take it you have no suggestions, then, faterikcartman?
I was hoping for an exchange of ideas. I guess I overestimated you.
