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.

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
