Subject of my paper: The Automotive Industry
Introduction:
My career interest is in being a certified automotive technician. Writing about this topic will give me an idea on how the automotive industry will affect me and my automotive business. It will also give me an idea on how the automotive industry is striving to be efficient.
Thesis:
My thesis is that, although there have been some automotive manufacturers that have gone out of business, the automotive industry will thrive. General Motors (Chevrolet), Ford, and Chrysler are all big corporations that have new automotive innovations being installed in their new vehicles. The automotive industry will be in good hands.
Approach:
In this new era of automobiles there will always be a need for automotive techs. The automotive techs of today form the automotive industry. Without automotive techs there would be no one to repair our vehicles. That is a difficult situation. There are so many different working parts on a car that we need to have someone that is trained to work on them. There are 6 different areas on a car that require a specialist or a trained automotive tech;

Tentative List of References: Do you know what sources you’ll be using? Right now, you
should have at least one website you find helpful. If you have three, even better. You can also
use PEOPLE as a reference. Maybe you want to include some insight from one of your
teachers or another professional in the field.

Thesis:
I want to become an automotive technician so I can help people get their cars fixed for a reasonable price.
Topic #1: Completing my degree
Being an automotive technician is not an easy job. I can get the training that I need from a university or a college; like Chemeketa Community College.
By taking math, physics, and computer class while integrating them into the auto motive class you will begin to learn how they all play a part in the automotive industry.
There are some needed skills that will benefit you in the long run though. Good mechanical inclination, good problem solving skills, and being able to take things apart and put them back together again are just a few of the skills that an automotive technician will use.
By going to ChemeketaCommmunityCollege.com, you can find out more information on the Automotive Program at Chemeketa. The website will tell you all about the program and what you need to do to apply for it
Topic#2: After getting my A.A.S degree from Chemeketa I can then go up to Portland and take my ASE tests.
Automotive technicians can make a bit of good money, but only if they have their ASE Certifications. In order to get ASE certified, you will need to travel to the ASE building in Portland Oregon. The tests cost around $30 a test. After taking the ASE test, you will to wait approximately 3-5 business days for the main ASE office to get out your results of your tests to you.
Topic #3: By getting my ASE’s I can then expand my business. I will be able to get licensed, bonded and insured as a legitimate business. I will then be able to register my business name and get my tax id at the same time.
By getting my degree and doing all the things mentioned above, I will be able to do what I love doing. Working on peoples vehicles, regardless of the make model and year, and saving them lots of money by them not having to figure out how to get their car to the shop. Instead I will come straight to them.
By advertising my business as a mobile business that’s registered and insured, I will be able to attract more clientele for my business to help it grow bigger.
Conclusion: ok, so by going to college, getting my degree, by passing all of my ASE tests (and getting all my certs), I will then be able to expand my business, and attract more people to calling me so I can make a living by doing what I love.
