Automotive Mechanic Training More Popular Than Ever With High School Graduates
Americans have always been obsessed with cars. Drivers want to own the latest models with the latest features and are willing to pay top dollar for them year after year. NASCAR has become a very popular sport with the youth of our country and older generations as well. Collectors have a passion for restoring, buying and showing muscle and sports cars of the past, and auctions devoted to the hobby are regularly held all over the United States. Street racing has been glorified on film in recent years, though one needs only to look back over our cinematic past to discover that fast cars and the people who drive them have been a part of our culture for years. Before movies such as The Fast and the Furious”, there was “American Graffiti” and “Rebel Without a Cause”. It’s easy to see that our love affair with the automobile has maintained itself throughout the years and continues to grow with each new generation.
Though we appreciate cars for a variety of reasons, we depend on them for only one, and that is simply to get from point A to point B. Every auto on the road today will need repair or maintenance at some point in the future. As the technology behind the automobile has changed, so has the training required of today’s mechanics. No longer will a rudimentary knowledge of drivetrains and electrical systems qualify a person to work on any vehicle. Automotive mechanic training has become a science of its own, with entire courses devoted to individual models or the industry standard diagnostic equipment that mechanics of the past never had the luxury of using. More and more high school graduates with mechanical aptitude are choosing technician training to provide them with a future and employment opportunities that are almost certain to always be available for the mechanically inclined. This is especially true today as the demand for qualified automotive mechanics often exceeds the number of automotive technician program graduates.
But why are so many graduates choosing to enroll in auto technical programs instead of traditional college programs? For starters, the auto mechanics of today earn respectable salaries as opposed to the mechanics of the past. Furthermore, the education necessary to become an auto technician doesn’t involve coursework unrelated to the trade. In short, auto technician training is a method by which young men and women can quickly learn a skill set that will allow them to earn a good living in a very short amount of time. Not many other educational opportunities can offer the same.

Vox Night Train 50 Nt50h 50W Tube Guitar Amp Head $699 The powerful, all-tube Night Train 50 guitar amp head offers two channels for traditional and high-gain sounds.The VOX Night Train Series projects a powerful personality with its mirror-finish metallic exterior and serious all-tube sound. Now welcome the new 50-watt model, the Night Train 50 head. Unlike the existing Night Train (15W) modelor even the AC15 and AC30 Custom Seriesthe Night Train 50 features EL34 tubes in the power stage, producing a tight, robust sound. Of course, the Night Train 50 also covers the traditional VOX sound, and its rich array of sonic variation makes it such a great and versatile choice for so many guitarists.Stadium-class sound; all tube designThe Night Train 50 features an all-tube, Class AB amplifier design delivering 50 Watts of power. The preamp stage is equipped with four 12AX7 vacuum tubes; with two EL34 pentode power tubes. This unique tube complement allows the Night Train 50 to capture the traditional VOX chime sound, as well as creating a powerful high-gain sound that will revolutionize your ideas about VOX amps.Two-channel design offers sonic varietyThe Night Train 50 features a two-channel design. The BRIGHT channel provides the inimitable VOX chime sound; the high-gain GIRTH channel utilizes an extra pre-amp tube for more crunch. The Night Train 50 will more than satisfy the guitarist seeking a versatile amplifier, and can meet the demands of a broad range of musical styles and playing techniques. Each channel offers Bass, Middle, Treble, and Gain controls for sculpting your sound. The BRIGHT channel provides a THICK mode that bypasses the EQ to boost the gain and make the sound even thicker. The Master section includes the traditional Master Volume and the VOX Tone Cut control, plus a new TIGHT switch. The TIGHT mode applies to both channels; it attenuates the low-frequency range to tighten the low end, providing even more sonic possibilities.Optional footswitch delivers performance controlAn optional VOX VFS2A footswitch is also available. With it, you can switch between the GIRTH channel and the BRIGHT channel as you play. This switch can also be used to turn the BRIGHT channel’s THICK mode on and off in performance, vastly increasing the versatility of this single amp in performance by giving you three distinct voices. The Night Train 50 provides a convenient FX loop for adding your favorite effects. The FX loop (-10 dB) is true bypass to keep your tone intact.All-tube, two channel head featuring Class AB amplifier constructionStylish design with eye-catching mirror finish4 – 12AX7 preamp tubes2 EL34 power stage tubesBRIGHT channel provides the traditional VOX chime, plus a THICK switch which bypasses the EQ for more gainGIRTH channel delivers an energetic, powerful, high-gain toneMaster TIGHT switch cuts the low end to tighten the overall soundFX loop with tone-saving true bypassOptional VFS2A footswitch lets you switch between channels or turn the BRIGHT channel’s THICK mode on and off |
