can a person who is 15 years old become a automobile mechanic?

In order to be an auto mechanic you need a certificate.More than likely you will have to go to a trade school in order to obtain it. therefore you would at least have to have graduated from High school with a GED or diploma.

The problem is that, in the State of Ohio, the restrictions for hiring 15 year olds is much stricter than hiring 16 year olds, so most companies don't want to hire anyone younger than 16.  15 year olds need more breaks and have to work fewer hours.  You'd be better off looking for a job at a local florist and local shop.  Places like Target don't want to hire younger folks due to the labor laws around 15 year olds.

I personally feel that a 15 year old person is old enough to know right from wrong and should be held responsible for their actions. That's what is wrong with the world today. Every child under the age of 18 wants privileges. But they do not want to be held responsible for the wrong that they do. I'm sorry for your loss.

Not legal to work that age in most countries - you could try and raise money by offering to help out at neighbours places - cleaning cars/clearing garden rubbish.. that kind of thing...

Not many hire 15 year olds.  Some are grocery bagging jobs and fast food places, but more and more places don't even want to hire people until they are 18, and the ones who do hire teens usually want 16 year olds or older.  You can try going to fast food places or grocery stores and asking.  Good luck with that, if you do.  You should also see if your school is having a job fair or career fair.  Ask your guidance counselor.  If all else fails, go door to door and ask if people would pay you to help clean.  Save money  and get a mower and hedge clippers and expand to doing yard work.  You might also try babysitting.  While you are at it, check to see if any booths at nearby flea markets or small "mom and pop" stores need help.  You could get a job moving boxes or sweeping floors.  I still advise working for yourself, though-- you can make your own hours, for the most part.  Meanwhile, learn about a trade you could do now.  A pair of twin guys from Antiques Roadshow were collecting antiques and re-selling them when whey were kids.  Good luck with whatever you try!

It depends, as always. I think I'm a pretty capable driver at 17 (if I wasn't, my parents wouldn't have let me get my license.) There are others, though, teens as well as adults who are terrible drivers, especially that person who tried to turn left in front of me when it was my turn at the four-way stop.. grrrrr... anyway, I agree with a few people who answered before me, that there should be a better program and test for driver's training.

it depends on how mature the child is. of course there are laws that have required age limits on things like that.

I would like to get back to college and get my certificate in collision repair.  I'd then like to get a job as an Automotive Collision Repair technician.

Mowing grass, yard work stuff, washing cars, babysitting, all the not-so-fun-stuff. Sorry. You'll have more options, fast food places mostly, when you turn 15.

It depends on the legal frame of the country you are in. Most countries do not allow children under the age of 16 to have a regular job.  However, a summer job or a part time job which is suitable to the child's health, age and mental condition may be sustained.  Some of these jobs may be: car washing, delivering news papers, pet walking, reading for 4-5 years old children at some day cares.

If you want to become a Formula 1 driver then you should learn statistics, then you will realise how unlikely you are actually become one.\n\nSeriously though, you would have to get seriously into karting before the age of 10 then progress onto something like formuala 3000 or another similar car racing sport. \n\nWealthy commited parents would definately be required.

I believe that you can still get your permit when you are 15 and your license when you are 16 but it's all with a parents consent.  I know in the state of IL you are under certain laws until you are 18 regarding your license, ie... you have curfew for your driving privileges, you can't have over so many passengers in the car, you can't have over a certain number of tickets, etc... I would check on-line with your states driving laws, your school drivers ed teachers or even the DMV on what the rules are in your state regarding permits and licenses are.  Good luck.  Your mom may be threatening you to be good or something may have changed with legislation recently regarding birthdates so check it out.

Maybe not a maximum age, but require a physcial driving test every 5 years or so for everyone. I know people who are stiil young and should be able to drive, but that could probably use a refresher course.
