If you are looking for a career and you like to tinker with things, well then look no further because there is a completely severe shortage of auto-mechanics in the United States and it is getting really serious. By the end of 2007 they are projecting some 200,000 mechanics short of what we need.

You see, the issue with labor shortages in the auto mechanics arena is really problematic. But what can be done? Many High School and College Automotive Tech Shops have closed their doors, due to lawsuits and costs. Some charter schools are trying to revive the old "shop class" type education and vocational training schools and Congress is also trying to help with a 1.4 Billion Dollar Spending Bill. Smart thinking, but will it help?

But even this may not be enough, more must be done to improve the number of mechanics in our civilization. In the meanwhile this could be a golden opportunity for you if you like to work on cars to make some great money in a high-paying and rewarding career. In many cities the starting pay is upwards of $15.00 per hour with full benefits and that is to start. So, consider this in 2006.
