HVAC, plumbing and electrical is way better.

My dad used to do that and made stupid money.

The reason why it’s good because it can be a 1 man show and you keep all the $$.

Autobody shops, you gotta split the pot with 10-30 guys and depend on their skills to push work.

If I had a choice, I’d learn HVAC/plumbing/electrical. Always in demand. Autobody shops are probably praying for snow or rain lol
