Im thinking of going to school to become an auto tech, but cant find a straight answer about salaries. Also, I have a 4 year management degree. Would that help raise the pay at all?

I have a couple of interviews for an apprenticeship coming up and I was wondering which would be better to take up. On one hand there’s a independent porsche shop that deals maintenance/upgrades with old and new porsches and on the other hand there’s this independent european specialist shop that deals with reparing all types old euro cars but mainly specializing in english cars as well as doing frame work/body work and full mechanical restoration. Which career direction would be better to take for my own future’s sake? Your answers will greatly be appreciated!

I’ve recently had the good fortune of attaining a window office with a view. I’ve since furnished the office with an elaborate tropical fish tank, brone wall street themed sculture, expensive and large framed art and intricate Ferrari and Porsche replica cars. I get alot of “wows” when people stop in. However some say it could backfire on me and make my boss(s) jealous or think I’m earning too much. I’m a middle manager in finance at a large non-profit organization. Age 37.

i want to be the kind of person who is sitting at home one night and decides to take a car out for a spin and go have some fun and not need to worry about money.
i do have plans to go to college but i dont know what field i fully want to get into.

I wanna be an architect and design sky scrapers. It’s a big passion I have. I have many ideas and can’t wait to see them built. Would I make good money? like enough to own a Porsche and design my own house?
