You won’t be at your desk all day! That’s right. Being in the automotive field doesn’t require you to sit at your desk all day.

Being in this sector also requires an individual to have a qualification in automotive studies, because many companies expects a person to have at least a basic level of mechanical knowledge. In addition to that, most automotive technicians are required on-the-job training to familiarize themselves with procedures, ethics, operations and the list goes on. That being said, most automotive schools have greater availability of internships. The automotive sector is not something people take lightly of, as this is a major field, conquered by big industry players.
