So, I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada and I have been thinking of getting a job as an auto mechanic and I saw that my local college has an Automotive Technician program available with a co-op option.

It is also important to note that Canada is now in a bad recession (and not really because of Trump's tariffs, but rather the very high taxes, regulations, and lots of wasteful government spending). However, I did hear that the automotive mechanic trade is pretty recession-proof (because people will still need their cars fixed even in a recession and will be less likely to buy a new car).

I just thought that taking the Automotive Technician would really improve my chances of getting into the trade because I just don't have any previous work experience. I also live in an area where the unemployment rate is amongst the highest in my province.

You joke but they threatened to call the cops on me after the sixth call or so.
