Are you an automobile fanatic who talks of car parts, their specifications and new model launches even in their dreams? Do you want to build a career in the field you have always been attracted towards but don’t know from where to start? Then read this blog through the end to find out how you can put your knowledge to action and start earning a livelihood from it.
Start an automobile blog
If you have more than average level of information about cars and a knack for storytelling, consider maintaining blogs where you can share interesting car facts, post reviews and publish other relevant content to attract other enthusiasts who share the same interest. Blogging, when done right, can help you earn a decent amount and may even bring in sponsors at later stages. Just make sure that the content you are publishing is really competitive and stands out to break through the content clutter. You may also start a vlog (video blog) if you have the resources and share them either on your personal website or video sharing platforms like YouTube.
The downsides of blogging are that it requires a lot of time and efforts, and does not start paying you from day one.
Become a certified automotive professional
A myriad of job roles is available in the automotive industry, including mechanic, technician, salesperson, equipment designer, marketing manager, customer relationship executive, quality controller and many more. You can join a high-paying 9-to-5 job with a recognised automobile company or retailer and enjoy a stable career for the rest of your life. While your proficiency and practical skills can also land you an automotive job, having a certification strengthens your candidature and can win you a better salary package.
The only challenge you may face herein is meeting the minimum educational qualification requirement. Some job profiles require candidates to undergo intensive courses, such as automobile engineering, while others require you to possess only a diploma or certificate in the related industry sub-domain. You can easily earn a certificate by completing a short-term course such as automotive sales training programme or automotive technician training programme, offered by government-recognised institutions like ASDC (Automotive Skills Development Council).
Become a professional racer
If you have superior control over a vehicle, be it a bike or a car, put your skills to action and hit the tracks. Professional car racers earn quite well while performing the thrilling task they love. The cons of being a professional racer includes the imminent danger of track accidents, lack of racing opportunities in India, and early retirement.
The Bottom Line
The automotive industry is indeed one of the most exciting fields in the aspects of both - learning and working. While all three of the above-mentioned opportunities are equally exciting and rewarding in their own ways, picking up a full-time job role in the industry is the most preferred one. Also, you have the knowledge, interest, passion and capability to undertake an automotive industry job role, acquire certification for your skills and build a thriving career in your dream industry. To know more about the career opportunities available in the automobile sector, get in touch with ASDC as it is the authorised body in India and takes care of both - training and automotive placements.
