Hello,
Looking for some advice. I am in the process of trying to do a career change to diesel mechanics from the software industry.
Can anyone recommend any steps, I am older late 30's so going back to school is not really an option. I have experience doing all my own diesel troubleshooting and maintenance on my own engines.
Seems pretty difficult to try to get a job in a shop especially at my age and background, I get some pretty strange looks.
I was thinking of just buying an old diesel engine and rebuilding for experience but thought I would see if anyone had any better ideas. Then once I did that get my hands on an old skid steer and rebuild that.
Thanks in advance for your help.
