Explanation:
Contesto porque "mecánico" es oficio, no profesión, y tampoco sabemos si es de autos, motores, barcos, aviones, ni nada. No hay que buscarle 5 patas al gatito, pos.

Explanation:
Just as you don't have to specify that "housewife" (or more politically correct, but not yet as extended, "homemaker") is her occupation, you don't have to say that "mechanic" is his occupation.
