What is it like working as a Diesel Mechanic?
June 2015
The deisel mechanic.
Diesel Mechanic:
Pros: I like that we are always busy. My company allows us to work close to 60 hours a week. What I enjoy most are my coworkers. I like the group of people I work around everyday.
Cons: This job can really wear on your body. I'm 22 and my the end of the work day I feel 50. The work conditions can be rough too. The shop is outside so if it's a cold day I'll be cold all day. If it's a hot day then I'll be hot. It's also very easy to get stressed. At most times I'm the only mechanic so work can pile up. I don't feel like I get paid adequately for all that I do.

Pros and cons being a diesel mechanic.
Diesel Mechanic:
You will always be in demand however you will struggle in early years even with a tech college degree electronics change very quickly now days and every thing is controlled with a computer your tools will be very expensive and as you build more experience you will have to buy more tools basically you will always have a tool bill always buy the best so you will buy one time and as you grow you will mass a fine set of tools and you can fix anything .
