Answers:

my car keeps losing power...what wrong with it?

Negative side: low pay-dirty work-high cost of tools-constant training-process through thousands of pages of technical data to correctly diagnose and repair vehicles-usually only getting one chance to fix it right.
Positive side: challenging- variety- specialized fields could produce above average pay- building a customer base that respects you and your talents-dealership training-builds diagnostic and mechanical skills that can be throughout life-professional racing circuits.
It all depends on if you are the kind of person that wants to know how something works or the kind that don't care and in turn pays someone to fix it.
