Well I've hit that point in my life(past it actually lol) where it's finally time I choose my career. I was going to get my Bachelors and join the Army But thats no longer a possibility for me.
I came up working for a high school buddies family dump truck company driving and working on trucks, Nothing like inframes or anything, more like PM service, Springs, Alt, Starters etc etc. and I loved it.
I have a couple of schools around me that offer programs in Heavy Equipment tech. and heavy truck diesel tech. I'm going to go for one of them (maybe both?) but I'm not sure which yet. The heavy equipment one offers the thinkbig program through my local CAT dealer.
I don't have any pro. mechanic buddies so I figured I ask yall. Is this a good career with good income potential? I'm sure I would love the work so I guess it boils down to salary/benefits more or less. I plan to continue working towards by Bachelors in business admin. part time after trade school is completed so maybe a few years down the road that may lead to management opportunities. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
