well heres wat id like 2 do

automotvie diesgner- make plans for a car. like a group of ppl who pput there heads together and design or improve a vehicle would be automoive designers

Automotive engineer-same thing i guess, but maybe more involved with physically working on building the car. n deciding what can be kept on the car to make it pracitcal and what has to be removed etc

autobody work-you fix dents, do paint. maybe even some custom cars

and the greates of them all:

Hot Rod Shop owner- do i really need to say ne thing? PS as some of you know, im going to buld one after i retire from the niners. hmmm, sorry guys but i cant remember who i pre-emtively hired.... someone remind me...

Racing. You would have to pay your dues though and start with the dirt jobs.

As far as engineering goes, there are a ton of different engineering positions within Automotive. Electrical and Mechanical are the two largest, and there are numerous subsets from there. Also, there are design, test, manufacturing, and quality positions in each discipline as well. So, based on that, if engineering interests you, there are lot of opportunities to pursue.

Well, looks like a couple of gents here aren't getting any free merch from Arin's Speed Shop...

I'm looking into going into Auto Design...

But, don't forget auto related...like advertising, mag writing, and other stuff
