With some dealerships charging $450 an hour around here with after tax money, it is not a bad idea to learn how to do some basic things. It's fair to say that most people here don't make $600 an hour thus, becoming a basic mechanic pays more than whatever their day job is.

Mechanical (ICE) cars are just a big, heavy Lego sets. Electric cars on the other hand, virtually impossible to work on.
