Replying to Slightly lost on what to do with my career.
No idea what to do at this point in my life. I've finished tech school and become a certified mechanic through the government and certified through my car manufacturer company. I have to stay at my work at the dealership for another year to ensure i don't get a bill for all the factory training they have sent me on (10k is a realistic guess of how much i would owe them if i quit within a year). I have it fairly decent where i am, I work for a vw dealer that used to have porsche as well until 1 year ago. I've driven many many amazing cars and been lucky enough to been sent for factory training and had a fair amount of responsibility placed on me at work.
The problem lies with me getting restless a bit and wanting to move into the racing industry. I want to work for a GT racing series such as ALMS but there is a few obstacles holding this back. I live in Alberta Canada, there is no connection to any GT racing series in the middle of Canada, all the teams are based out of the states. There is no set way of path a person should take to get into the industry, its more of who do you know.... atleast it seems. I have no idea how to get my foot in the door for that career, short of sending emails to every racing team in the ALMS with hopes of a reply of guidance. Things just appear bleek for my career dreams at this time, maybe this almost a rant more than anything.
what would ns do?
