Jobs in the ATV industry?

[WKY400EX]

I'm looking to get into the ATV industry somehow. I'd be more into aftermarket fab (like chassis parts), or a engine builder (like Sparks). I just don't know what kind of education and skills I'd need to look into. Anyone have any suggestions?

Get an engineering degree and work for one of the major manufactures. It is the best job in the world.:D

are there any industry websites or organizations in which they post classifieds? I've seen polaris & suzuki post marketing/sales positions at monster.com. I too would love to find a sales/marketing position in the industry but think the chances are slim to none....

Yes and my location should tell what company. Working on and designing future ATVs. It does not get any better than this.

I got ya.;) That's awesome.

Tell me what you think. I've thought about opening my open business after I get out of school. I've thought about aftermarket chassis parts design, or just running a place like C&D Racing or the Quadshop. Something that caters to ATV riders needs.

I'm glad your counselors helped you out. Our counselors back in HS sucked.:rolleyes: I did spend a lot of time at our tech school back in HS, and really enjoyed it. I've always been a hands-on type of person, so I'm looking for that kind of job.

i plan on goin to MMI also after high school
