Greg Edge says; "I think you did not do so well in English class. The shop owner did you a favor. Go to school and get a degree. Do automotive work as a hobby but not for a living. I have been in this business for 27 years and would not suggest anyone go into the car business. Use your brain to make a living and save your body for hobbies."
Don't you think that's a bit rough Mr. Edge? I learned a hard lesson only a few years back that I should have listened to my heart regarding how I should pursue my life's endeavors. Unfortunately, I listened to naysayers and ended up getting a degree, working my way up the corporate ladder, making a ton of money and ending up completely miserable. Just my opinion, but I think perhaps we should let this young fellow follow his heart and passions and see where it takes him. While you may have not enjoyed this path and the automotive biz hasn't worked out the way you wanted it to, it could be the absolute best and happiest path for HIM to take. Maybe Calvin D.K. will end up becoming the next Carroll Shelby, or better yet... the next Calvin D.K.!
Anyway... I'm jus sayin! Just one man's opinion.
