I am a machinist and toolmaker. I am 36 years old. I have no desire to be a mechanic but I can tell you at my age I could not imagine crawling under trucks every day and wrenching on equipment.

I dont mind getting my hands dirty but getting covered in grime sucks and all over my clothes would suck too, and I dont have to get my clothes dirty. I make machine components on a Bridgeport milling machine and I assemble fixtures too. My salary is about the same as a diesel mechanic. Read up on machining and get to know the trade a little before making a set choice, you have 2 years yet before you graduate from school so you have time. Good luck
