What can a regular guy with no formal training do right now to get some sort of (paid) entry-level work? I'll probably take classes eventually.
This bike wrenching can be a great hobby but a poor profession.
You need tools, ability & a place to work. A large inheritance for an obscure deceased relative really helps.
Or be on the receiving end of a pension from some place you used to work.
If you have not already filled the slot, marry a doctor, dentist or attorney. Or an heiress.
When I got interested in bikes I bought some old second-hand books over the internet from Abe Books and Biblio.
All books less than $8 each. Amazing.
Check out your local bike shop.
