The booming housing market and excellent long-term prospects for people with a knack for fixing things means a strong future market for construction, repair and HVAC technicians. If you were the kind of kid who took apart all of your toys just to see how they worked, a future in the trades may be ideal for you. To succeed in the construction and repair trades, you need a strong work ethic, manual dexterity, and a concern for quality. Another plus is that these jobs are less likely to be outsourced than white-collar jobs.

If you believe that becoming a mechanic is your ideal career, you should also have some ability to work well with others. Most repair facilities involve some teamwork, and you should also be able to interact well with customers. If your plans include opening your own shop, consider taking some basic business courses as well as those in your trade. A little business knowledge goes a long way in making sure that all of your hard work and investment produce a profitable business. There are many valuable professions in the trades, and whichever you choose, you can be assured that this is the sort of job that won't haunt you at night. In today's stressed, outsourced, and downsized economy, a job like that can be extremely valuable.
