Some really good comments in this thread.
But now that the OP has heard from all the mechanics... what about the mechanical engineers lol?
I really don't think you can just decide to go into mechanical engineering just because you don't want to become a car mechanic anymore. Keep in mind that engineering is a program you definitely have to be committed to in order to maintain a good GPA at graduation, and that there is a shitload of per-requisite courses you'll have to complete before getting accepted into engineering (ie. Cegep sciences).
Also, engineering is nowhere near as hands-on as car mechanics. And you HAVE to enjoy working with advanced mathematics.
