If it was me.

I'd take your uncles offer under these restrictions. You work only as a mechanic. and your get time off for mechanic school. Then go to mechanical school and then become an audi tech.
And work on OUR cars at cost

**** that. I'd pay good money to have a reputable guy work on it. I don't expect cut rate., just solid work.

well i am now a BUM, i got fired on Sunday[:@]
It wasnt my fault though, i was getting screwed on my Hourly wages and i was talkin to the owner and she said thats it, she said i was cheating her and thats it im fired, but in reality i was not cheater her and she was cheating me. I am mad casue i been working there for almost 2 years and i did nothin but work hard and show respect to her and the managers. Im the kind of guy that you can trust all i do is work and mind my own business but hey its her loss anyways

Im lookin for a job now, me not working is like me not breathing, i need to work and keep busy

so far my uncle offered me a job as a mechanic AGAIN which i might take up this time, last time it didnt work out because he was gonna train me when i finished all the office work and help his wife but there was so much work that i never was able to leave the office[:@]

and theres a job opening i might get if this person doesnt follow through in this small business

I'm in a similar situation with the hourly thing, except that my manager is cheating the owner by giving more hours on my card than I actually worked. The owner won't approve raises, but my boss wants me to have one, so she 'made' one. I'm quitting when school ends and taking up full time demolition over the summer for $10/hr under the table on top of 16 hours on the weekend at the go kart track as a mechanic. My race team will also start getting off the ground soon too.

that sucks, hopefully you have some cash put away for something like this. I have always feared not having money and managed to build a large buffer that if i lost my job or the biz failed i can still live normally. but i wouldnt worry, something will come along. if you were in baltimore i'd give you a job.
