I do not think you should have to take your drivers test in a standard but just learn to drive one just incase someday you might need to. You will never know.
I love it! Both my kids (late 20's/early 30's) can drive a stick and are rare among their friends and spouses! My DH insists on a stick (although agree to automatic on truck since I drive too and knees don't like a standard anymore) but it's hard to even find one on a new car. Its been to my son's advantage as a mechanic as some of the other mechanics don't know how to drive a stick--they also both drive a tractor, can pull a trailer (although not good at backing on daughter's part) and can change a tire and oil on car(since late elementary school)! My DIL felt such a sense of accomplishment this fall when she helped replace flooring on the horse trailer and helped re-wire--too bad more young people aren't taught skills that make then know they are capable of tackling the world!
