In Canada's auto capital, repair shops say skilled technicians are nearly impossible to find

1. Require auto technicians to own thousands of dollars of their own tools.
2. Pay auto technicians piecework.
3. Senior techs take on “gravy” work that pays better per hour, leading to very long hours for the junior techs to make ends meet.
4. Society and government guide everyone with three brain cells into university degree programs for decades on end.
5. “There aren’t any automotive technicians”!

Plus, it’s very obvious that there’s a massive push towards ending fossil fuel use in the personal transportation space, and electric cars simply don’t have the same maintenance requirements. It’s like stating your intent to become a professional typist in 1988 when computers were clearly going to massively impact the line of work.
