Trade school (auto tech) for a good career?

<p>I love fixing stuff. but i want to know do these guys make much money? i also want to open my own contracting company one day so what would a good major be for a contractor?</p>

<p>Most auto mechanics do not earn great money. A lot of dealerships/shops pay the technicians not by the hour but by the repair. Lots of pressure to work quickly.
What kind of contracting? Construction management might be a major to look into.</p>

<p>@leftwinger Building houses and home repairs mainly. </p>

<p>Im torn between civil engineering or construction management</p>
