Hot Rod Jobs

Since I was really young all I have ever wanted to do is work on cars, through High school all I wanted to do was work on custom cars and hot rods. But I choose not to go to a tech school and went to college, it was a good thing I am sure, but now I want to get into the hot rod industry. Any suggestions on how to find these jobs? I would love to work at a hot rod shop but I don't really have any contacts in the industry. Anyone else gone through a similar situation that may have some advice?

TIA

Studeyman

Good luck getting into it without the automotive degree under your belt. A friend of mine got a degree in pain and body work and went like 3 weeks hitting every shop within 30 miles of here looking for something and most places want experience. He finally lucked up and got on a place doing restorations.

I'm going for Auto Tech and am having a difficult time finding even an entry level job with no "job" experience - other than my own truck and the race car. Of course I haven't really looked super hard either.
