Auto Jobs?

Im in the military and i love it.
However, my passion has always been working on cars.
And im always thinking of what to do when im done. be it in 4 years or after my 20.

we've got a lot of people on here so ive got a question.

Can i make a good living in the auto industry?

I would love to have a job where i can restore all kinds of classic muscle cars. but i do love working on all types of vehicles.

ive also heard of some government contractor jobs working on police cars and stuff like that.

Any advice would be appreciated. thanks

I make a living working on cars. I love my job its mostly just normal cars, tune-ups, oil changes boring stuff. Then occasionally we get fun cars in and it makes all the boring stuff worth it. To answer your question yes you can make a living working on cars. Find out where you want to live ask around for the good reputable shops then start applying.
