I'm a maintance machinist for a large alloy plant, there's also several diesel mechs that work here too. Both jobs pay the same, machinist are confind to a certan area, mech are to for the most part, but some go out in a service truck which is nice when the weather is good, bad when it is'nt. There's many differnt types of machinist jobs. Most are CNC production, you push a button and the machine does all the work, you may do your own programing or someone else does it for you. Mechanics is harder work, climbing' lifting, pulling wrenches. In Ohio the demand is about the same for each craft and it is very hard for a young man to get started, every place wants someone with experance. You need to have a close look at both jobs, then go with which one you are the most interested in. It comes down to doing what you like the most. Good luck.
