how much do mechanics make? and how hard would it be to get a job if you've had formal training like a trade school?
Depends, independant shop, around $10/hr starting, dealership around $15/hr. Schooling will help get an interview.

i enjoy it, i've helped my friends work on their cars in high school and it was fun

>That truck
What if you need to make a u turn. Heck what if you need to turn above 10 mph
master techs for bmw, porsche, merc, etc make well over 100k a year.
pay starts low, but has potential to be very high.

something like this may be good as a temporary career while u figure out what you really want to do.

It's not so appealing when you have to do it day in and day out.

Working on your friends or your own shitbox is fun. Working on other peoples shitboxes isn't.
No job is supposed to be fun. But if you enjoy cars in the slightest, pick a different trade.
Let's not even get into the joys of flaterate and shop politics.
