The trade I see least non-Caucasians in, is remedial plumbing (ie, repairs and modifications to existing). Definitely a few groups of New Australians have hangups about 1’s and 2’s. I think it’s possibly part of why there’s a growth in pipe lining services.

Returning to the core topic, yes, you’d be mad to consider automotive mechanical as a worthwhile lifetime trade. As an entry ticket to ARC accreditation, yes probably almost worth a few years of suffering.
