After working 6 years in 2 body shops (Garage/Carrosserie), I decided I wanted something else, so I looked and found a job in a bit older terminal that would hire me. I'm a hands on kind of person so I was very persuasive of this and got the job. I tried to learn everything as fast as I could on this job wich resulted that after 2 years they made me in "co-charge" of 25 people. After 4 years I got another job in a Petrochemical Liquid Bulk Storage Terminal where the pay was better and I still work there today.
As far as education goes, I started out doing 1&2 ASO and felt out of place there. I went straight into 3 BSO mechanics and later car mechanics. I didn't have to study for anything as it was easier to learn, not even throughout the years. I had a lot of free time in my teen years after school and until this very day I regret nothing.
