How did you get into the auto body/auto mechanic field? What was your expectation going in and how did that contrast to reality?

I'm currently in Job Corps wondering if this trade is for me or not. I have always had a passion for cars and I like to think that they are pretty much adult legos with extra parts and steps, but obviously, if I keep that sentiment I will be in for a rude awakening. What was your experience first getting into this field and how much of it was similar or different from your expectations?

whats importiant other then learning the parts for the car to become a race car driver?

I have been interested in Auto racing since I was 11 and I wanna become one but I'm wondering if there more then working-out, knowing the car/track, rules, I just wanna know more. Also, one of the series I wanna race in could barely race in the rain due to there average speed being to high that the rain tires will wear out rain tires (NASCAR) no auto racing really doesn't require a degree but if you wanna keep the car running you would want a michanics degree.It isn't as simple as turning a Hockey arena into a Basketball arena in 24 hours no auto racing isn't as easy.
