My car is a manual.Hey, I was just talking to a machinist friend who spent two days rebuilding a VW/Audi DSG automatic, after previously replacing a DSG automatic with a used DSG automatic innthe same car.
He says they are a PAIN IN THE ASS and to swap your ATF fluid frequently to avoid buildup. he says even a little build up in the solenoids that the computer uses to swap the gears is a huge problem.
If youre the right person, who can run a business. not too many plumbers or college kids with a multiculturalism degree can do that.While these kids go to college and rack up tons of debt for a worthless degree, it's the people in trades that are racking up the cash: electricians, plumbers, painters, carpenters, etc.
Most plumbers I've ever known have been smart. Running a plumbing business is not brain surgery.If youre the right person, who can run a business. not too many plumbers or college kids with a multiculturalism degree can do that.
I mean it's just a different kind of mindset. some people just don't want to deal with supervising others or dealing with the aspects of business. many are happy just to get a salary and go home.Most plumbers I've ever known have been smart. Running a plumbing business is not brain surgery.
The lights may go off and the door gets locked but I can tell you that most successful small business owners know what is really meant by 24/7...Sometimes it's not the mind(education or intelligence) but the mindset(discipline, persistence & patience) that makes people/businesses successful.I mean it's just a different kind of mindset. some people just don't want to deal with supervising others or dealing with the aspects of business. many are happy just to get a salary and go home.
Why don't you give it a go? You're a pretty handy guy....Ever try to hire a Handy Man lately? You're lucky if you can get one to call you back because most of them are too busy.I have two buddies who ten years ago started businesses (one irrigation and one pest control) and they are absolutely raking it in.

The was a book called Millionaire Next Door. the guy started out wanting to do scholarly research on the habits of millionaires, which he thought would mean getting an MBA (or other advanced degree) but it turned out to be almost exactly the opposite. Education wasnt as important as working hard, running your own business and being thrifty w money.I was just making a point. Skip the damn university altogether and go into trade school. You'll have steady income for life. If you know how to run a business, you can become a millionaire.

Be sure and tell them that my electrician had a Lamborghini. You can make a ton of money if you're smart and work hard.I am a white collar professional. Both of my kids, who will never want to drive a desk, are going into the trades. Electrical and HVAC. I have seen too many of these guys with W2s that exceed CPAs with 15 years experience, yet the real money is if you own your own business. I told them both I will help them run theirs when I retire.

I told all three of mine that while raising them: "get a skill, white or blue collar, go get experience and build a network, after a few years, if you want, we can all try to do something together (or separately)".... it's working out so far, and the brothers/sons definitely want to do something all together.I am a white collar professional.
