Question: i have a chance to study a vocational skill, should i go for automotive technology or building trades tech? Building Trades Technology (which includes carpentry, HVAC, electricity, plumbing, and remodeling and repair) OR Automotive Technology?? I want the one that will give me the best short term job while i finish up my degree in college. The one that will pay the best/best opportunity/best job quality/opportunity for the future in general. Best skill to learn now that might be usefull later. So which one?! Ok, well to give more details, I am a female studying engineering and might possible switch to chemistry/biochemistry/or nursing. These are both skills ive always been interested in (building and auto) and I don't even know the bare minimum basics when it comes to cars, so i'd have to learn it all.

Answer: Do the BTT. Gives you more options depending on where you live. AT can be used ANYWHERE though, but I'd do the BTT. Especially if it offers welding as an option.
