Should I be a auto mechanic?

i would do it if thats what you wanted to do

Sounds like a good career for you. I think you may be incorrect on how much money you need to save. Speak to your local community college. You may find out that you can get grants and loans. Personally, I would stay away from for profit schools and concentrate on your local non profits. Usually much cheaper, especially if you can live at home which you usually can.
