Well Im still debating if I would like this to be a career for me cause I love how cars look and I love to learn the whole structure of a car and how to even build my own but I need to know a coouple of things first.
1.Do you know how much mechanics make per year?

2.What classes would you suggested I should take in high school/college?

3.Whats a great college I can go to to learn to be one.

4. Are there many positions I can choose from if I be a mechanic or its just a one thing only?[sry if i didnt word it in a simplier way, hope you'll understand]

Yes I am a female wanting to be this but I just love cars!! Its a job Im willing to do.

Another thing, what do you think cause I want to be a veterinarain but then I want to be an auto mechanic.I dont know which of the 2 I want the most cause I love animals but then I love cars, so rite now Im just gonna see wit of the two makes the most money

Go with the Vet. I spent 45 years turning wrenches. It’s either feast or famine with the pay check.
You must be certified (Lots of hands on experience) to get the paperwork that says your an expert.
Thousands of dollars of tools you must own to work on the cars. Lots of theft among mechanics, and the shop owners cheat their technicians.
Had I the opportunity to start over, (I’m retired), I would go with Vet training.
