Making your passion your career?
 

I am a 27 year old college graduate with a BS in Business Admin. I work in insurance and make a pretty good living, but I don't care that much about insurance and I regularly find myself thinking about ways I could make money with automobiles during work time. What is a good career that an educated person who loves automobiles (especially sporty europeans) could pursue? I know this is a Porsche forum and I want to talk about Porsches too, but this is something on my mind and I figured this would be a good group to ask. I feel like I would get bored watching a car lot all day, and I have good mechanical skills. Does being a Porsche mecahanic pay well? Any other potential careers? Any thoughts from fellow car lovers would be greatly appreciated.

I thought about quiting what I do and becoming a Full time Porsche mechanic. Why? I am that addicted.

However, I think I could make a decent living at it, but probably would not last long as I would spend most of the time with my car on the rack doing up grades.
Just a thought[:-]

Dealer work would not be much fun. Get into the performance side and it is a lot of fun, but the money isn't as good either. It is a trade off.

Is this what you do? How competitive is the job market? Is there much lot watching/down time?
