I saw that too. Clicked on it hoping to get a bigger picture/more info but no dice. I suspect it's an actor?

The link talks about high salary jobs but no specifics on this one. I was thinking someone could verify the shop by the picture.

That is a stock photo from Cultura Limited (which you can see if you hover over the pic on MSN.com).

Mechanics have no degree?

All independent shop mechanics I know personally have an ASA or some other mechanic school degree. All dealership mechanics I know go through a lot of training / schooling as well, to get beyond the oil change / brake job level.

Is being a mechanic a "great job"?

While it is an honest living, I would not say it is a "great job". It pays pretty well if you are at a dealership, but it is hard work that requires a lot of skill. I know not a single mechanic that has decent time off and does not have to work Saturdays. The only way I can see it be a "great job" is if you are in business for yourself.

Just my two cents. That lady looks like she has never touched a wrench, but maybe they just cleaned her up for the pic. ...
