Looking forward, 1st section

Looking forward to my future as a diesel tech. I'm looking into dealership technician opportunities Locally at first, and then further out. I've got my entry level tool chest.
I'm adding to the tools I've accumulated over the years. I'd say I have a fair start on tools, though I know I need more, and better quality. I know I won't have the luxury of being able to run to the tool store whenever I need something I don't have, so I'm using the tool list provided as well as researching what tools I will need first in my new career path.

I also know that as a dealership technician, and since I have a CDL already, I may be required to run a service truck, so I'll need to be very self sufficient, and work in adverse conditions. With personal history working labor jobs in the outdoors, I have an idea what to expect as far as weather is concerned, though I know trucks breakdown in some very inconvenient locations s weather isn't the only player. 


Where do I see myself in 5 years?
I'm planning on getting my BAS in Diesel tech, which will take a couple years once I finish the Diesel tech program here at BTC. I plan to move into more supervisory roles, and perhaps working with some engineering after completing my degree. I'm still researching possibilities and opportunities that will be available with a higher degree and I'll expand my career outlook by next Monday.

  1. Hi Tony, I'd like to see you explore the markets across the US with some of the links provided at the bottom of the assignment.

    See if you can get photos of the shop facilities and also get an idea of the support that the dealership appears to be offering for a possible entry in your next blog, which is due Monday night, March 20th at 11:59pm. (-; Add some meat to the pie with that post.
