Automotive(Car) Electrician Career

[sonny]

I am attracted to engines and generators and I want to know how the life of an Automotive(Car) Electrician is.Is it hard?Can you break your back if you work in this specialty?Is it fun repairing generators,engines and electrical components?Is it physical demanding?What happens if you don't have a good physical body?
I am interested in working in this specialty but I'm not Hercules and I'm not a bodybuilder.I heard that this work is physical demanding but I really don't know if you need muscles to resist the weight of the car's electrical components and I really want to know if someone who is skinny like me could resist at 70kg(I'm guessing this is the weight of some electrical components but I've never touched them so I don't know if this is real or not real).

No one worked in the automotive industry as an electrician?

You need to give people a little more time to reply... especially as it's 11:50pm and most of the people who are likely to give you the best advice are possibly in bed sleeping as they have work tomorrow.

Patience

Hi,more important than your weight,is your experience and age...give us a clue of what you have done to date,and what you think the industry consists of.

Brains trumps brawn,when lifting...and that's from a man who collects anvils for a hobby,and CAN lift

All industries have ensured that risk assessing and job planning,runs in front of any power-lifting,and has saved many an injury.

Well my problem is that I'm not a great lifter and a good example would be how I have to lift my bed in the morning.

So can an automotive electrician who is skinny work in this industry?It seems that no one answered my question.

You can do whatever you want to do in life, you just need to persevere, adapt and overcome any prejudices.
