Automotives

There are more than 1.4 billion cars, trucks, and sports utility vehicles in the world. As a result, there are excellent opportunities for automotive designers, engineers, technicians, mechanics, and collision repairers, as well as manufacturing workers. In this book, you'll learn about these and other careers, typical education paths, the skills you'll need to be successful, average salaries, the employment outlook, sources of additional information, and much more. Automotives is one of six exciting titles in the Hands-On Careers series that spotlight occupations in which workers build and repair things; work with animals or grow crops; explore the ocean; engage in logging, fishing, or oil exploration; help others; or otherwise engage in hands-on work activities. Many of these careers are attractive to young people because they offer interesting and rewarding work outside of an office environment. They're also appealing because they provide good pay and steady employment prospects.
