Jeremy’s Answer

My father taught at a trade school for automotive, autobody, and home repair, and I know this - the challenges were less the content of the material he was teaching, and more the management and mentorship of your students.

The great thing about trade teaching is many of the students there are interested. So the job is to channel that passion into positive ways, as there were many days he would come home with sotries of class disruptions, some quite severe.

Teaching is a very personal career choice, and a commendable one at that. Quite often, a high school teacher has more interaction with a teenager in the course of a school week as much as, if not more than, a parent. It is a massive responsibility, and a good teacher can make a great impact on a young person's life.

Wow this is a real cool question, I'm excited to answer this question because there are a couple of things that we ahve in common, I am also an alum of the Atlanta Job Corp program. No I have to admit I didn't teach automotive I taught 4th grade for 2 years and a corporate trainer for 7.

Teaching automotive, seems it would be really cool as I am a motorhead, I love cars. I did obtain my ASE certification.
What are the work schedule like ? General teaching 4th grade my schedule was normal day started about 7:30a ended about 4 in the building and some nights working on things for the next day.
I wished I had more to offer in the way automotive teaching.

Good luck on your journey.
