Peter J.’s Answer

Go work in a car shop right now.
Start by sweeping the floors or straightening out the tools or whatever the shop foreman or owner needs.
You'll learn if you really like it. Just as important, if you express an interest in owning your own shop one day and you work hard, there are many owners who will eventually give you tips on how to open your own shop. In this way, you'll get your own mentor --your own coach from someone who is in the industry!
The key is: you're excited to be there and you see what you want. No hemming and hawing or being too cool to show interest.
Adults are reluctant to give advice to kids who don't express an interest and who don't work hard.

Hi Freddy , best to start with some high school mechanics followed by a two year college certificate if you can get it. Often you can get employment in the business at a lube shop, dealership, or independent repair facility to start and work your way up. During that time you can study and work on your ASE/NATEF certifications that qualify you to work in most any shop. Most car manufacturers offer apprenticeships if you work for their dealers. Together with on the job training you will become a well rounded automotive technician. Like anything else in life if you want it you can get it.

Hector’s Answer

In order to own a business the most crucial step is to know it inside and out. I would recommend get to work maybe part time in a car shop as an assistant mechanic or something else and learn how it works, become proficient there and be prepared, and put some money aside. By the time you graduate in Business Administration you should have money to hold the business losses for 2-3 years which is usually what it takes any new business to start making profit, as those years generally generate losses
