You will be a student till the day you retire . With all the different equipment and changes to said equipment ,you should be learning something new every day.
But it is so much easier if you have already been in a while. That way the changes seem incremental and not all thrown at you at once in a big mess. When I started things had computers to run the injection pump, ABS and a few other things, but mostly mechanical, and of course the old mechanical stuff was still around to provide you with plain experience on the simple stuff in between computer glitches, to clear the mind. Nowadays it is always interconnected computer nonsense it seems. And there is a general lack of access to manufacturers' smart guys nowadays if you get stuck. You have to build up a network of who to call for help and that takes years and decades.
