How To Learn To Confidently Drive A Car With A Manual Transmission
Cars with manual transmissions, also known informally as "stick-shifts" or "standards," are somewhat rare in the United States. Only about three percent of cars sold in America are equipped with manual transmissions. However, knowing how to drive a stick-shift is still a useful skill. For example, you never know when you may be forced to drive a manual transmission-equipped car, such as when traveling overseas where they are vastly more common.
About Me
After I graduated from high school, I went straight to college, even though I was very unsure of what career field I wanted to enter. I completed my four years and earned a degree that helped me secure a job relatively quickly. However, I soon learned that the career I chose was unfulfilling for me, but the thought of going back to learn something new just seemed too overwhelming. I wanted to enter the field of healthcare, and one day I got a flyer in the mail from a local nursing school that offered certificate programs that only took a year to complete. I felt like it was "fate," and I was soon enrolled in evening classes. I really like helping others, so I want to help others make good educational decisions. I plan to post tips for people of all ages on my new education blog!
