Is 23 too old for a career change?

I did a university course in biology and just finished it with a 2.1 I don't think I want to go into a career in science any more. During my time spent there I've had a lot of opportunity to think about my life and I'd really like to become a car mechanic. The problem is I don't know how to start. Is 23 too late to get an apprenticeship if I find a dealership?Is 23 too old for a career change?
I don't think you're too old. What you may want to consider/look into is taking some community college courses on auto repair/mechanics. It may help give you a boost while you are looking for apprenticeships at dealerships or garages. Sometimes you can even earn apprenticeships through the courses. Good luck!Is 23 too old for a career change?
Absolutely not too late! Go for it and good luck.
You can take a course while you are still working. The hard thing after is to get a job. There are so many makes it would a good idea to specialise ie; ford vauxhall etc. Dave
Absolutely not a lot of tradespeople I know started in in their twenties. I know an auto mechanic who has had baad experiences with apprentices screwing him around. If you're smart and willing to learn, you shouldn't have too much trouble. My advice is, if you want to become an auto mechanic is find a smaller shop. It will give you more hands-on opportunities to learn. The mechanic I know just has his own shop with three apprentices or former apprentices (including a 25-year-old girl who just got her papers!). Just acknowledge that the pay will suck for a while and you won't be licensed until you're about 28. Auto mechanic apprenticeship programs usually have a classroom component, so talk to your local college (in Canada) or trade school (in the US)
Lol. Hardly. I changed careers at 32. Very successfully too. 23 is a BABY! I only started uni at that age!
if it's what you want to do, go for it
I'm 21 and I'm still in college trying to decide what i want to major in, but I've found a great way to make money fast. Work from home marketing products online It's worked for me. Check out this link and watch the video it's risk free.

Good luck!
23 is not late at all.

Ask yourself the question why would you like to become a mechanic? Just to make sure that you are spending your energy on chasing the right career, why not ask a local mechanic if you can help out for a while to make sure that this is the career for you. Even though you would be working for free, it would be time very well spent as it would mean that you now KNOW instead of just think that this career is right for you.
no not at all its all just begining for me
