Automotive Dealership Owners

Students should obtain as much experience in the field as possible by participating in summer internships and part-time jobs at automobile dealerships or at other retailers.

Whatever the experience and training, a dealership owner needs a lot of energy, patience, and fortitude to overcome the slow times and other difficulties involved in running a business. Other important personal characteristics include maturity, creativity, and good business judgment. Business owners also clear communicators who are able to motivate employees and delegate authority.
