Someone who always told me i cant do anything

"Higher learning" that's some snob shit. There are multiple forms of intelligence. 

There are, but should someone who became a car mechanic be equally appreciated when put next to a doctor or a nuclear physicist? 

Depends on how good the mechanic is, society is fucked without mechanics. Imagine if all mechanics and the information they have collected disappeared tomorrow. 

A lot of people figure out cars without a manual, the way the parts work has an inherent structure to it. 

That being said I'm not one of those people. 

Also just because i love mechanics doesn't mean my love for science left me. I consider mechanics to be a part of science actually. No, i want to do both mechanics and things like theoretical physics and biological sciences. They all make me happy and i learn so quickly that i could learn them all sufficiently.

Engineering is pretty amazing, but car repair is almost more like following a recipe isn't it? 

Why not appreciate the skill you've acquired for the sake of it having been acquired? To have it be about crawling out from under another's thumb demonstrates that you're otherwise still beneath said thumb until you've otherwise moved on. 

This venting I'd argue is healthy otherwise, but why you feel underfoot with a chip on your shoulder that makes you need to prove things is where I'd be focusing on personally. 

  Lol now you have me picturing potato chips on my shoulder

I know exactly why i want to prove things

Im human and its human nature, why do we want to do anything, really?

The need to prove things to others gives them the upper hand.

Most people fuck up their cars that way, its rare for someone with no training at all to fix a car that wouldn't even start and drive it 24 miles with no issues

Absolutely not, thats something someone who doesn't even have beginners understanding would say. Mechanics outsmart the recipe. The recipe is made to be as expensive and financially beneficial as possible to the company who made the car

 But it's to myself, so by your logic im giving myself the upper hand
