A young Styrian woman wants to become a car mechanic - but there are many obstacles in her way before she completes her apprenticeship. "Many people think that girls can't do it and aren't strong enough," criticizes the 18-year-old.

"I always wanted to be a car mechanic," says Sanja Muchitsch. Now the 18-year-old from St. Oswald has achieved what she dreamed of as a child tinkering with her motorcycle together with her father: she has completed her apprenticeship as a car mechanic. But getting there wasn't always easy.
