My mechanic is in his fifties and has taken a fresh approach to hiring apprentices. He graduated from college with a history degree. He loved to work on motorcycles and cars as a hobby. When he found out that the corporate world was not for him he apprenticed at any place that would have him. He decided to focus on Porsches, particularly air cooled. Skip forward a decade or more; after hiring a few people who just didn't cut it in the brain power department, he took a novel approach. He sought out apprentices who, like him, had liberal arts degrees and mechanical aptitude. It seems to be working out.
