I've always liked cars. Show me a picture of a standard production car I can tell you what it is, the year they started making it, the car it replaced and/or the car that replaced it. Name me a car manufacturer I could name you all the cars in their range.
Throughout my childhood I couldn't wait to start driving and once I was 17 and got my first car I was driving it all the time, sometimes just for fun.
Unfortunately I've always struggled to get my head round useful things to know about cars such as the mechanics. I instantly forget everything and the more I try to learn it the more confused I get.
One of my best friends from school is a mechanic and I would always go to him when I had any car issues. Then I moved out of the area where it was no longer practical to go to my friend anymore and the prospect of going to a mechanic I couldn't trust like my friend made me really anxious.
I therefore ended up moving to London so I didn't have to rely on my car anymore. At the same time the further I got into my career as a Data Analyst the more I hated it and it made me anxious to the point I can no longer drive.
One thing I've considered is trying to become a Data Analyst in the car industry. What I hope is that by working in the car industry I will be able to enjoy my job more and reduce my anxiety so I can start driving again.
Is this a good idea? Or am I just kidding myself given I struggle to understand useful things to know about cars?
