>turn your hobby into a career!
>tech school was fun now to get a job
>get shitty entry level jobs before going for something good
>get better job, but instead of a hobby you've been grinding the joy out of your life for money
>now you are trapped doing something you used to enjoy and now have to do or you're screwed

It could work out, but I've always heard never to make your hobby into a career.

Not saying you shouldn't be a mechanic, but see if they offer something else besides cars. Aircraft, locomotive, ship engine, ect.

>tfw my neighbor down the road is a mechanic for American Airlines
>he always has something he is working on under a tarp because he can leave work at work and go home every day.

Personally I still am going to go to a tech college to learn how to be a mechanic, but that is for my own personal gain, I have a degree in civil engineering as a career.

So if you still want to go, go for it. Just don't make a career out of it.

Rule still applies,

Remember that people "madly in love" later file for divorce over something as simple as $1000 or as simple as one little argument. Now think about someones daily driver, or the shitbox they owe 7x what it is worth.
>inb4 love is a construct/not real
You get the idea

yea I have a degree in biology but it's difficult finding a career for it, so I thought I'd go the mechanic route but now hearing this I might just do it to learn as well

"ever sinces" aren't something you would be dealing with personally unless you run your own shop

Never do sidework, ever, even for your own family and friends

Aircraft mechanic pay is worse than auto mechanics, and it's also way more limited pool of jobs. I work with two aircraft mechanics with all certs for airframe, jet engines, etc. and they are back working on cars.

OP stick with the community college classes and get an entry level job at a shop, you'll find out of you like it quickly enough.

>I have a degree in biology but it's difficult finding a career for it

I know that feel, my first attempt at a degree was applied mathematics, then I realized if you dont have PhD in your name you aren't going to do much with it.

Shop around, there's plenty of tech certifications that require a lot of education or thinking on the job.
