In need of Diesel Tech's!
Ok, A Know-it-all friend of mine apperrently thinks to become a diesel tech you have to work on an oil rig for a certain period of time before you can come back and work as a diesel tech in shops or what not. Now I think its a great big load of .B.S but i want to know from a real diesel tech for argumentitive reasons. i think a good Lesson by a diesel tech would be good for this friend of mine.

Being a roughneck, tool pusher, driller, etc has about as much to do with being a diesel mechanic as....well...as much as being a mechanic has to do with being a tool pusher, driller, or roughneck.
You work with your hands....you getting really friggin' dirty....and if you're a mechanic for a drillin' outfit you might get yelled at a lot, but the rig boss usually knows that if you yell at the mechanic, things take longer, so they usually just yell at whoever broke what the mechanic is fixing and leave the wrenches alone.
That's about all I gots for your friend......

i may not have been too clear, but he said that AFTER you get out of school *wyotech, itt tech, ect* you MUST work on an oil rig for a certain period of time Before you can work in any shops or whatnot.
but keep the comments coming...he should be over sometime this week and im gonna show him this thread to prove him wrong.
