Wilmer's+Research+Paper

** 2nd Block  ** ** Part I  ** It’s a little hard thinking about my plans for my future, and trying to find a good career for me. The reason it’s hard for me is because I’m still young, and there is still a lot of things I got to think about. But the main thing in my mind is to be an Auto-Technician. I like muscle cars a lot, so I figured to learn more and study something that I would like doing. I also want a career that would get me money. I’m looking for career that could be good enough to support a good household and important things I’m going to need in the future. I’m going to want many cars, so if being an auto-tech will help me to achieve that goal, that’s what I’ll be! I have other careers in my head but this is the main career I want.

** Part II  ** Now finding a college was way ore difficult then finding my career. I already it in my head, what I wanted to be, but choosing a college was harder. I had to find a collegethat was good at teaching auto-technicians as a major, while I was searching for a college on the internet, I saw some colleges in Louisiana, but I don’t think they were all that good. I want to go to a school that will teach me everything I need a get a masters degree.

While I had hours of research I finally think I found that good college I was looking for! It’s called Universal Technical Institute. In UTI’s Automotive Technology training program, you’ll get a comprehensive technician education that will prepare you for an exciting career in a hot industry. You’ll acquire fundamental skills in automotive technology as well as expertise in high-tech systems and components. So it seems like a very good school. They have 12 of these schools scattered around the United States. The only problem is which one would be the best Institute for me? There are none of these Institutes in New Orleans, so the only choice is to move away from home for a while.

** Part III ** I started doing some research on all the locations and I found out three of the locations not suitable for me, because they are for studying motorcycles and NASCAR Institutes. I want to study cars! Well I kept looking for the best locations and I found one location that I liked. It is located in Orlando, Florida, the description is that it’s located in an area that’s world famous for the warm climate and multitude of theme parks. Beaches, boating, and water sports are within an hour’s drive of the school.

Los Angeles, California is the second college location I picked. Campus is located 40 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Disneyland, Magic Mountain and several professional sports arenas are just a few of the attractions. To me, those are the two campuses that I think are best for me. They both are area’s which would be fun and entertaining. I don’t want to be somewhere were I might be alone and bored. That’s why I chose them two locations.

Even though I think it might be fun because the locations seem good, I don’t think the work would be easy. Modern auto technicians require good reading comprehension, math, science, and computer skills. Students would have about six months writing the engine performance section of an automotive textbook being prepared by a major textbook company. Auto-tech’s and mechanics salary is $11.96 and $21.56 per hour, for the middle class workers. The highest paid workers are earned more than $27.22 per hour.



Being an Auto-Tech isn’t an easy task, most mechanics work between forty and forty-eight hours per week, but many work longer hours during busy periods. They work indoors, in shops with good ventilations, lighting, and heat. They frequently work dirty, greasy parts and in awkward positions. They sometimes lift heavy objects, minor cuts and bruises are common, but serious accidents are usually avoided by observing established safety procedures.

** Part IV ** Well now that I found what my career will be and what college’s im going too im surprised of what my future might bring me. I hope I get to achieve my goals, and hopefully I get to make that happen when I grow up, and make something good happen in my life.
