Thanks guys . An annoying amount of people that I know are not as enthusiastic about it as I am. "Why are you excited about an entry level position?", "I thought you were going to school for autobody!?! Why didn't you get a job doing that?", and "Well, you will get a lot of experience doing oil changes." have been the most common responses . I guess they don't see the bigger picture, so I just tell them "it pays more than I am making now and it gets my foot in the door" even though there is WAY more to it than that.

Sorry, had to vent a little. Doesn't matter, even knowing I will have to turn wrenches on freaking Aveos can't keep me from being excited .

David
