i've gone through the same type of thing. before i started school here in january i was welding. well when i started there i didn't know if i would be able to cut it. wasn't a problem. just don't worry about the other people and just do your thing. everything will turn out alright .

Don't try to compete with "the guys". Figure out what you're best at and like doing and then kick *** doing it.

Time is still money darlin'. You still have to do good work in most any body shop, but your worth to your employer is always based on how much money you can make for them. You won't be expected to keep up at first, and you have the advantage of being a girl ( that being it brings out the damsel in distress mode in us guys, they will be more willing to give up their secrets and help you along, just like here in this thread). But the big secret, I think, to doing anything good and fast is focus.
