I started out kinda like you about 4 years ago. My big boost was my grandpa practically gifting a tractor to me. I always wanted to make a bit of cash, and finally figured out the most practical way was go to the nearby farms and tell them you're looking for some work. I love snowmobiles as well as tractors, so I bought a old snowmobile for cheap 4 years ago, and the next year sold it for a few bucks more. During this time, my mechanical interests grew greatly, and I got some awesome friends from my church, this site, and folks around the neighborhood that really got me going. I started buying and selling a few more sleds, and then with my dads help, did similarly on a couple ford tractors.
A budy and I now buy snowmobiles and ATVs (as our funds allow), ride them, fix them up, sell or keep them. With a head mechanic for a big shop in our area, I've now begun working on cars as well, even buying and selling a truck. I've not got rich in all this by any means, as the cost of parts and repairs must be factored in, but I enjoy doing it. Hardly any profit is made in all this, but we're getting experience, and I'm doing what I love to do. I'm in my freshman year of highschool, started dual enrollment college classes next year. Looking around at local colleges for a automotive tech degree, or possibly diesel tech degree.
Anyway, all that to say, do what you love to do. If you want to be a mechanic, give it a go. You've only got one life to live. Think of things you love to do, how could you make money by that? If you enjoy welding, I would agree with maybe making some yard art, and selling it. Some folks like that old rust in their gardens. :)

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
