Most of us probably figured you wouldn't want to hear "stay in school" responses, or would give us attitude if we did provide such responses. But quite honestly, you'll want that education to fall back on if you decide automotive technology is not for you.

Re: Mechanics Apprenticeship

I appreciate that you're not that type of person.

That being said, I am unfamiliar with your location and what options are available for you in London. Here in the US we have schools like Wyoming Technical Institute and similar, but those are schools you pay to attend, not necessarily educations you get by working with a professional in the field. Those types of opportunities seem to come primarily through family or by hanging out at the race tracks and doing odd jobs in the pits.

Good luck on whichever path you choose.
