Gents,
I come today asking some opinions on what ya'll would think if I should become a marine mechanic. I know my knowledge base is about mid range, but I really love working on boats. After doing all the projects on the BBY this past year, it all the more makes me want to do it. I have a backround in electrical engineering (ASU), I work with controls and automation, I graduated from the Marine Mechanics Institute of Orlando FLorida (School was a complete joke) I currently work on ships, but I'm really getting fed up with my current company. I worked for a company down in florida while going to school that installed navigational equipment, and A/V systems, though I wasn't with the company long before they went belly-up...(Poor Managment)
Of course I would become a fully bonded and insured company, but I have my fears about the economy.
Many of the shops around here get so backed up in the spring, that there is anywhere from a 2-4 week backup just to get oil changes, and there aren't many mobile guys here in the valley. I know my limitiations, and I would have no problem walking away from a job if I didn't think I could handle it.
What do ya'll think? Would you hire me? :smt001
