My name is Joshua, I'm from Buffalo, NY. I lived there my whole life. I'm not sure where to begin, in my life I've been through more shit than most middle aged men. I was born at Children's hospital. My parents divorced when I was 3, after I was pottty trained. Me and my mother lived all over, places you would want to step into. When I was seven, my mother found a babysittter, little did she know, the babysiter was a child abuser (eventually she got locked up for it). We moved upstairs from my Aunt and Uncle ever since. When I was a teenager, stuff really hit hard. 3 of my friends were murdered. I got into gangs and crime. I was almost arrested a few times but they left me with a warning. I got into a lot of fights, few of them involved knifes. I almost lost another friend when someone put a hit on him. I was also into alcohol. I changed my ways and now I've been focused on my schooling. I got accepted into this early college program, I go to school for 5 years and when I graduate, I'll have a high school diploma and an associates degree, which my major is Automotive technology. I can't find a job because no one is hiring, i only get $15 a week from my grandma, which i need to eat. I've been into diapers all my life i guess, ever since I was 5 or 6, i was always fasinated by them. I also tried other baby things like pacifiers and bottles and found them to be fun.

Well if you want to work on cars, get yourself a job at any car lot or a dealer washing cars moving cars etc, they are always looking for a responsible guy that will show up every day, I started changing oil and servicing new cars when I was 17, and worked a lot of different places, incuding my own place.

If you are a guy that, is not afraid of getting dirty, and working hard, any lot will hire you, you won't make a lot of money at first, but anything is better than what your making now...B

They won't hire me because I'm not ASE certified

[beallucanb]

You don't have to be certified to clean cars, and help on the lot, in fact all the years I worked on cars I never was certified, and most of the people I worked with all those years wern't certified either, and still did a dam good job on anything we did, and a bunch of them still working still are not certified, thats a relitivly new thing, to get your money off you, to pay to get a job.

If you truly want to work on cars, all you need is a desire and be willing to do almost anything automotive, unless you want to be one of those book mechanics, that can quote paragraphs from a repair manuals, but can't do anything else but push buttons on a computer, and tell somebody else, this is what you should try next, you learn from experience, you aren't going to get a job at some fancy dealership, but small garages, car lots, are your best bet, just to get started.

Good Luck I hope you find something to tide you over, untill you get your education....B
