could i apply for a motorbike mechnaic job with a diploma in nautic engines?

[raaaid]

the main prolem is that i have no clue on engines and very slight on bikes but i dont know do you finish any studies knowing anything?

if i have to work an 8 hour shift i think the only thing im willing to do is bike mainteinance

do you think my studies qualify me for that?

what should i do now to become a bike mechanic i almost finish my stuides?

i can only work among special people as bikers, no way im working with those money greedy sailors

So let me get this straight you spend ten years trying to pass an engineering degree and now you want to be a bike mechanic, im sorry to tell you this but... you DO NOT need a degree in engineering to be a mechanic!

No but a least a clue - or experience.
But...I mean, he could start an apprenticeship, it's only 4 years...

True but he seems to be after a new completely unrelated job every 3 months

i know only a w acko for me would think this:

but i rather work at mac donalds than in a lng ship

the reason the colour i rather a badly paid colourfull work than a welll paid grey job

is your job colourfull or grey

colur:

working with chikcs 1 point

flowers 1 point

nice people one point

helping people one point

grey:

all male +1

dirty +1

rusty +1

after money 3+

bike mechanic falls withing colourfull work while ship engineer is quuite grey



when i started i was planing to travel then i discover ships just stop few hours in each port, talk of killing romanticism

The problem in Australia is McDonalds tend to hire seriously underage high schoolers, as young as 13 in some states. Best to stay well away or you will get in serious trouble.

As far as motorcycle mechanics go. You could always move to India and become a village Royal Enfield mechanic. I think most of them cannot even spell qualifications, neverlone have any.

well by now really im not considering leaving

my plan is ask in the local bike shops which i frecuented years ago and some others nearby

what i wonder is that if i tell them im a nautic engineer that sounds nice but the true is that i have no clue on repairing anthing

really for me is much more important a rewarding job than the money

[WTE_Galway]

Just buy a vintage Piaggo or Vespa scooter or maybe a BSA Bantam and restore it.

Then ride your immaculately restored bike to the bike shop and show them your work.

To be realistic raid, no you cant. You need vocational skills. Apply for some you never know but dont get upset.

looks like you already know the answer to the question you asked. a repair technician is not an engineer. by the time i was 21 i already had a hundred hours repairing my own motorcycle and cars, it seemed like such a basic thing to do in those days. maybe in your country or in your generation it's considered strange? my dad was a machinist and expert with hand tools so he had an influence. did all my own servicing on my 911 for 6 years with only common tools worth less than a couple $100.
