Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), automotive service technicians and mechanics had median hourly earnings between $11 and $26 in 2004. Career opportunities are expected to show steady growth over the next several years.Automotive Mechanic Career Training Although there are no standard educational requirements for entry-level automotive mechanics, most employers seek applicants who have a high school diploma as well as some form of formal training. Career education programs are available through online high schools and automotive service training programs. Career training and college degree programs, which are often sponsored by automotive manufacturers, are available through community colleges, vocational schools, and online colleges and universities. According to the BLS, courses in automotive repair, electronics, physics, chemistry, English, computers, and mathematics provide a good educational foundation for an automotive technician or mechanic. On-the-job (OTJ) training usually supplements formal training for these increasingly high-tech jobs. Depending on education and experience, comprehensive OTJ training can last between four and seven years.
