Elkski Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I think it's a case if a guy who thinks cars are hard to work on. It's a combustion engine and systems. Hydraulic brake systems, coolant systems, fault code readers, tire changing maybe the worst to learn. I bet 300 baht is spare change compared to her uncle.

I only let qualified engineers touch mine since it's already dangerous enough in BKK. It's mostly (qualified) mechanics that work on cars and get dirty. Not engineers.

Bill Miller Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I was an ASE Certified Master Technician in my day. What I think you mean by a "qualified engineer".Two of the best mechanics I ever met were women. Your misogyny is showing.

Bill Miller Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I started at 14... sweeping up, oil changes, etc. Eventually took all the exams and was fully certified.Big kudos amd good luck to this young woman, and bad cess to any trying to denigrate her accomplishment on the basis of her gender. Simply not done by civilized folks.Sent from my SM-J200GU using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I worked in the family deli for 7 years, high school to college. Didn't need much training. But despite the parent's lackluster support since I was pretty good cheap labor (no pay) I put myself through school. Went on to get BS engineering, MS math, Air Force officer, senior aerospace engineer, able to retire to the LOS anytime I decide to pull the plug here. So yep, humble beginnings in the smallest town in the smallest state Rumford Rhode Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarguy Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 its great that some girls are given a chance to use their "mechanical" mind , It is really something missing in most modern societies in the west , and having another viewpoint is good , Women look at things from a different angle and background . Maybe more practical on items that are used daily. And the opposite is true , boys need to learn cooking , sewing , and simple things like doing the laundry us "Guys" know how much difference male and female logic is , let it work for us to make things better...... YEAH , I know its not going to happen , but its a thought...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
