to further aid the left turn this thread has taken, LOL
Central HS in Brooksville where I work at has an auto tech shop. Just a crazy idea but why not consider taking a raw kid that is enthusiastic and train him to the way your shop does things???
Maybe an apprentice type deal possibly to get a look at a kid and see what their work ethic is like and so on? Possibly a joint venture between all the area shops?
I know for a fact these kids would be very excited at the prospect of competing for a spot in a performance shop and the possibilty of having a paying gig right after graduation would be very motivating to them.
You could even set minimum standards for them to qualify such as math skills (algebra) and reading skills.
Additionally you are helping give a job to a local home grown kid too.
Just a hair brained idea I had.
