I'm learning a trade!

This is hilarious because I have 14 years of university and two degrees under my belt. But I think I have finally figured it out.

I'm going to be a bike mechanic

I work at MEC and they provide a lot of support and training for employees. I got into the bike-builder (basic) cycling training, and over the next 2 years I will continue to take classes and workshops until I obtain a mechanic's certificate. I start in the bike shop next week, probably sweeping up and doing tire changes for the first while, but i'm as happy as a clam! I love bikes and working with my hands.

My brother did that. You two are the only ones I know. He really liked it. And I accidently read "14 years of university" as "44 years" lol.

How awesome - doing something you enjoy is what a job should be all about! Hope you keep us updated on how your training is going!
