My heart was (and still is) in the same place yours seems to be now. Remember, you did ask so here is my two cents worth. You have the advantage now of age. Aside from getting hung up on a title of "technician" or "mechanic" I agree with many of the others, obtain a 4 year degree. This does not by any means limit you in your mechanical abilities. It does however open doors that have been closed to those of us that had your ambition and have not been able to graduate beyond supervisory positions within a shop so to speak. Going to college does not mean that you can"t learn "hands-on" or "OJT" experience, which is as some of your responders have mentioned is what really counts. Take advantage of your age, complete college and during your in-between times at school hire on somewhere as a shop helper. If your heart, desire and attitude are in the right frame you can learn valuable skills and information from these old timers that have been there for a while. Good Luck.
