Im just kind of wondering if anyone might be in the automotive industry that could answer a question for me.
Initially, I have been learning programming for a year at a college but I have recently been asking myself whether or not I rather be doing something else because I really have no passion for programming and might just be a hobby interest.
On the other hand, I have always been interested ever since I was a child watching my dad work on cars (some his own) as if they were his projects and always thought I would love to learn all about them and work on them myself. There is just something about cars that always made me dream of being able to work and personalize my own car beyond just looks. its as if lately, i have been thinking just driving a car isnt enough, i want to get under the hood. But I haven't lived with my dad in 10 years and that interest sort of faded away as he wasn't around anymore since my parents divorced but I really started getting really interested in imports and my interest grew again but I figured it was too late to ever possibly try learning all there is about cars, motors, and everything there is to know so that i could one day work on them. I am 20 years old so I still got a lot of years ahead of me but most of my friends who are into the automotive stuff have been doing it since they were kids and I know absolutely nothing. I could visit my dad and he could probably teach me a lot when it comes to hands on experience because I want to see if this interest would take me anywhere but i fear there may be no point and theres just far too much to be learnt even through reading many books and hands on training. I guess what I was hoping to ask is, is it possible for someone like me who doesn't know much about automotive turn it into a career if I really like doing it. I wont know if I truly will want to do this unless I ask my dad to help me learn but I dont want to waste his time if theres no point.
Thanks
