So at my community college they offer automotive tech programs (Honda, Toyota, GM, etc) that im on the boundry of getting into!! The program (Toyota) has at least a 2 year waiting list but I have all my ish together. Shhhhh! Yes i do becauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse:

1) I already have a job at Lexus and my manager is WILLING to SPONSOR me (meaning they will help pay for school)

2) I have the grades and the persistancy!

3) BONUS: Im a girl!!!!!! hehe unfair, i know but true.

If all runs smoothly within the next few weeks I should be in the shop at Lexus starting March 31st or April 2nd!!!!!!!

Yay! I'm sponsored! For real though, sorry tom

Just thought i'd throw that bit of good news out there

Depends on what you want to do. I got on at an Acura dealership in Austin as a service porter (read - car washer) and could have expanded up if I'd stayed in Austin. Decent wage and I got to drive a couple of NSX's (one up to 150mph ) and some nice Legends...kinda made up for the smallish paycheck!

Oh yeah - congrats on your sponsor!

Congrats on the opportunity. There happens to be a female tech. at the Honda/Acura dealership where I work. Still pretty rare around here though. Good luck!

Slightly off the main topic:
How much do they pay the parts department people, at Acura? Always wondered...

Where I live, the cashiers in the parts department are always cute, lol. I've been to 3 Acura dealerships noticed the same thing every time.

The cashiers at my dealership are pretty

Its pretty tough depending on where you are to get a job at a dealership. It also depends on what you want to do...in the service dept you just need a clean driving record and be a hard worker

Thanks guys, this means a lot to me. Its getting me started towards a career!!
