    Thank you so much for the information. I'm currently working in the economic field, but I'm interested in becoming an automotive mechanic. I'm also concerned about long-term career prospects and noticed your comments about heavy-duty mechanics. For a long-term career, which path in automotive mechanics would you recommend? Thank you!

      @@BurntToffee755 Thank you for reaching out! I think longterm options Heavy duty would be best in my opinion. There are more unionized shops available, at least here in Ontario. Long term, union, pension and benefits are what you want and the average garage, even most dealers will only give a sub par health plan.

      @@m.a3117 definitely not! I didn't know my path until I was in the final months of grade 12. If you can, sign up for Co-op or Auto if it's available at your school. Then if you're liking it, speak with your guidance counselor about OYAP for grade 12.

      @@KuldeepSingh-so4pu if you are here in Ontario, I'd suggest the Heavy Truck Mechanic 310T. Centennial offers an amazing program for it and has a very large hire rate at the end of the program.
      Heavy Equipment mechanics can make more, but less likely to be unionized which in the long term isn't the best option.
      Hope that helps! Reach out any time!
