this is not possible

 after completing bvoc in automobile can i get mechanical design engineer post or automotive engineer or automation engineer. ChatGPT said: This is a very common and important question for B.Voc students. Let's explain it clearly: ❓ After B.Voc in Automobile, Can You Become: Career Role Can You Get It Directly After B.Voc? ✅ Technician / Service Advisor / Workshop Manager Yes – Easily ❌ Mechanical Design Engineer (CAD/CAE, SolidWorks, CATIA etc.) No – Not directly ❌ Automotive Engineer (R&D, Testing, Vehicle Design) No – Requires B.E./B.Tech ❌ Automation Engineer (Robotics, PLC, Mechatronics) No – Requires deeper technical/engineering study 🎓 Why Not These Engineering Jobs After B.Voc? Because: B.Voc is a skill-based practical degree , mainly focused on job-ready skills for service, repair, and basic management. Design, automation, or R&D jobs usually require deep engineering knowledge like: Engineering Mathematics Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Fluid M...

Honda CR-V hood release cable broken

CRV hood release cable is broken, How do you reconnect the top of the hood release cable when the hood wont open You can see the cable if you pull on the hood as far as it will go 2002 CRV hood release cable is broken, or disconnected at the latch end How can I open the hood If it's loose it either broke at the cable or the end piece. You have to get to the back of the latch and move the release arm. I usually try and get under the vehicle and remove the plastic splash shield from the bottom and get a long screwdriver or something I can fish up from the bottom to that arm to "pop" it open. Here's a couple pictures showing the release arm and latch so you can see where they are located. The release arm (marked B) will release the primary latch. Then you can release the second safety latch like normal. That arm needs to come down . I have this extra long radiator hose pick that's angled just right to grab it and then I pull down to pop it.  in t...
