ramen noodles.  And if you drive, I hope you get great gas mileage.  Most people can survive with far less money than they think they can if they are truely careful with how they spend their money.

Why would he sell his car without having another lined up -- and before asking you to borrow yours?  $250/month would get him a pretty decent car -- good enough to use for work.  Actually he could probably get an XB for close to that.  He will end up lowering the value of your car when he could have his own and pay the same amount.  I think it's a bad idea.

No knowledge or training is a waste of time.  Is it cost effective?  That's a better question.  Consider the job market where you live?  Is there a need for such?  Will you require furthering your education to keep your job?  Are you willing to move to get a job in another location?  Automotive technology is constantly changing.  You'll be studying in that field for the rest of your career.  If you enjoy it, you can earn a living at it.  You'll probably never become independently wealthy as a technician.  But you will be doing something you enjoy.  That is a great plus.  Diesel is a good one also.  My uncle does that.  He mostly works on tractors, but does other diesels as well.  Sometimes he works on other engines.  Unless your job requires the question, "Do you want fries with that", you'll always be learning.

I understand what your saying. I enjoy stock car racing and would love to start (I'm only 16) but I know how pricey it could get and want to do it on my own with a little help from my mom. I'd suggest sitting down with your parents and seriously talk to them about this. Ask them if you could get a job to help pay for some of the expenses (if you feel you could work) and go from there. I keep hearing it's better to start young. So I wish you luck and hope you achieve what you want. Oh and don't ever stop believing in yourself-whether you start know or 10 years from now at least you'll know you tried!

If you have equity in your car you can use it to obtain a loan. Pay Day loans are a good company.

Formal training is not required for such an occupation.  However, if you want to learn how to install automobile parts and amenities, there are numerous technical schools you can attend to learn those skills.  Age is not essential; however, it helps to be an adult.\n\nThe bottom line is that you have to personally know an auto shop owner and prove to him/her that you can install automobile parts.  If s/he knows your skills and likes you, then you'll get hired.

I have been both a car sales man for 4 years and a mortgage consultant for 3 in cars i averaged 110-120k per year i have averaged 180k as a mc for 3 i do about 4-6 loans per month and i cold call people 6 hours a day 5 days a week. so it is more money but you have to work at it alot harder. either way you have to be a good saleman so get some good books on sales and learn your craft.

I'm only 22 and I can see your being wasteful. Should take that money and save it and put it on a down payment for a house. Then when you have that house paid off buy your car. Maybe take that money and start paying student loans off or pay for more schooling...unless you got a free ride.  \n\nDue to the fact you have no real job. I'm guessing you're not going to get many banks to finance you, unless you have a co-signer.  Even if you do get a co-signer you're only 20 and high risk. You'll have to get a loan for 9,000 and all the other taxes that come along...maybe warranty. They'll bring it to about 11,000...you'll be paying about 300-350 a month. But remember you'll pay interest first, and no principle.  Depending on 3 or 5 year loan. Now you have to remember about car insurance.  Since a bank is financing it you'll have to get Full liability coverage. That will hike up your payments to the roof. Hopefully you have been a good driver and have a bunch of discounts. If not, you'll eat up every bit of your monthly wage for this car.  Forget eating, and gas.  You'll probably go back to begging parents for Ramen soup money. Ha ha, sorry man like I said I'm 22, been there 2 years ago. Thankfully I didn't go thru with it.

A busboy in a fancy restaurant. First, you will learn why reach ass**** are whiling to pay so much merely to eat s***. Second you`ll get to work on you Chinese or Spanish, or both, real good. And both buddy, are the are the languages of the future for a yet-to-be wall-street shark like yourself.\nGood luck baba

Call a dealership.  That's what I did. I told them what I wanted, what I had to trade, what I had to put down, and how much I was willing to pay, and ask him what he could do for me.  He called me back in like 2 hours and told me what he had available. I wasn't rich, and couldn't get exactly what I wanted, but I'm quite happy with what I have, it does it's job, its nice, and it is MUCH better than the 20 year old car I traded in. If he doesn't have what you're interested in, call another dealership.

The highest paying job will be the one you are willing to invest a lot of time into, to become one of the best at it. Every job market has a bottom and a top. \n\nReally the only other option is to luck into cash via inheritance or someone helping you along. Since your are here I guess that's not a option for you. \n\nSince you are just materialistic you should pick out a job market that has the most opportunity for someone who only cares about money.  You could be a bottom feeder such as a Ambulance chaser form of Lawyers.  Or a salesman who calls up the elderly to sell them timeshares or burial insurance.

If you enjoy your job and are good at it, any career is worthwhile.  People always need cars. Even when gas was 3 bucks here, people where buying new cars.  The first answerer was correct about the sales reputation.  Some people thing 'shady' when they hear the term 'cars salesman'.  He has to be able to let it roll right of his back as he will hear many things he doesn't like.  That's life, though, nothing is always perfect.  In sales, you have months that are stellar and months where you quit.  The trick is to budget accordingly and save your money during peak months to get you through the slow ones.

1.  Auto Body Shop Office Manager\n\n2.  Stress depends on the day.  Crazy customers, parts coming in wrong, etc.  Every day has a different stress level\n\n3.  I have a BA in accounting but can't say that it was necessary.  \nExperience would be learned, you need to know vehicles, insurance company policies, have computer skills, etc.  As for benefits, I work for a small company with a sole proprietor, benefits are not available.  For a larger company such as a dealership, they should be available.\n\n4.  As for pay range, it depends on where you live.  I live in a very rural area so the pay rate isn't super high but neither is the cost of living (I currently make 28K per year).  This job in larger areas can pay a lot higher.\n\n5.  The pro's - I get very cheap vehicle repairs and my boss is great.  The con's - I'd rather be at home.\n\n6.  Likes - I learn something new every day.  The automotive and insurance industry are constantly changing, not necessarily for the better.  Dislikes - See likes.\n\n7.  I love my job and would definately do this again.\n\n8.  Advice, as a woman, you need to be able to be around men being men, you can't be overly sensitive.\n\n9.  Day's activities - Write estimates, contact customers, order parts, account for income, pay the bills, pay the employees, be sarcastic with the boss (that's a big one!!  lol).\n\n10.  Career paths?  Well as an office manager, I can't really see it going any further unless you wish to get into the actual body work itself.  Not for me though, I like my little cushy job that let's me go on Y/A whenever I like.\n\nPHEW!!  That's a lot of typing!!!!
