They love new guys because you have not learned any bad habits yet.

You will probably bump around from shop to shop until you find one you really like.
Most guys do that after a few years at one shop.
Once you get the hang of the vehicles and become familiar, you can shop around for better pay, location, whatever.

Most of the older techs have been ran off because they like the young , fresh guys.
1. Because they don't require as much pay as the the 30 year techs.
2. You are not set in your ways yet and your brain is like a sponge.
3. They can mould you into the kind of tech they want you to be.
4. You can be pushed around a little more than the veterans.
5. You look and smell better than that those old farts. Ha, ha.

They send you to school at least once a year for updates, especially if you are really good at electrical systems and diagnosis.
Then they will send you more than the other guys.

My brother in law was one of those guys who could almost look at at the car and fix it when it came to weird wiring stuff.
They were sending him to school to learn the new stuff and they would just give him all the problem cars because they were too cheap to send the other 150 techs for the same class.

Good luck Goody.
It's a good program.
