Which occupation

[Dirtychevrolet]

Here is my problem I love auto mechanics, welding, metal fabrication and automotive body work which are at least related but then I also love fish hatcheries/ working for the game and fish which is no where related to automotive stuff. So what I was thinking is that I could go to college for the automotive stuff which would be only like a year it's a fast pace school but I think it's the one I want. Then after that I could go to another college and get my biology stuff for the game and fish and I could have both as an asset to me is this a good idea? I can do the work but I don't have a ton of money either.

My suggestion is that you need to look at the job market where you are and figure out which profession is in most demand. For example, if the fish hatchery business is having a shortage of workers but there is not a demand for automotive folks, then go with the fish hatchery. (The same can work in reverse). What you do is once you make enough money in whatever job you choose, then you can use that money to pay for school to study the other thing you like.

If this means anything, I think that if money is an issue for you and you need to learn a skill fast, then the automotive thing might be your best bet since you can get a job really fast. You just need to find out if you are required to have your own tools or not because my understanding is that mechanics generally have to supply their own tools. If you don't have a lot of tools and that is required to be an automotive repair person, then go down the fish hatchery route which does not require anything.

Basically, find out which job has the most opportunities in your area, the least money requirements, and the one that offers the highest pay. Study for that job first and then use the money you make to study for other job when you have time.
