Do what make you Happy its yor Life !
I agree near RJ, have have a similiar experience. Grew up on a farm, overhauled my first multi-cylinder engine at 16, BY MYSELF. After that I maintain all the equipment on my Dad's fish farm, which was a a bit good sized operation. Bought my first motorcycle at 18, a Harley 45, and it needed rod bearing. I tore it down, and fixed it, sold it before I go to college, next spring, bought an Indian Chief, rode it a while, traded for a sports car, then bought a 1947 HD 74, which needed a modernize. Did that and rode it a while, then bought a contemporary Triumph. All the while, going to college, and working for the school. Any approach, started a bike shop at 21, then get drafted, trained on electronics. After Army, finished college, got a Triumph dealership. A customer worked for a hulking computer firm, talked me into interviewing next to them. They hired me, I thought I would work for a few years get adequate money together to open a big shop, but retired after 29 yrs, 8 months. I have a lot of fun, and be able to run the bike shop evenings and weekends the entire time, except for a while while on overseas assignments.
This be a lot of work, but I be able to do like mad of drag racing, Bonneville Speed Trials, etc. which I may not hold had adequate time and money for if tied just to the bike shop. So, I am still contained by the shop, busy, but help is impossible to find that can do anything.
So, my direction, get a angelic education and a point, find a good living you can do and enjoy, and next on your time, do what you love. Find a wife who will help, or at smallest, not impede the process (that may be the hard part), and travel for it. I know I could have made greatly more money than I have, but can honestly vote, I do not think I would own changed anything did if I had know afterwards what I know now.

Answers: My humble view:
Mechanical Engineering has several faces, production engineering, power assurance, and design engineering. The first two are more "hands-on", but not at the level you are discussion about.
I will share next to you my experience as one who worked as a mechanic to pay his route through engineering school. It be my experience that it was better to build 2-3 times more money during the week "click click type type" as you put it, and spend your weekends blowing some of the extra cash on my bike and my super stock.
As you attain older, you will appreciate the reality that it is a lot easier to work contained by the office as challenging the shop. Being 50 and trying to keep up next to younger mechanics has to be a slaughterer.
Hope that helps,
