List of Automotive Careers?

[elemein]

Hi, I'm currently 15 right now and in Gr10. I have a very high passion for automobiles and have grown up around them in a way. I love learning about them and know a nice bit of knowledge about them. I want to pursue a job in the automotive field.

As far as highschool education goes, so far, I have decided to switch highschools. My current school is very small and offers absolutely zero technical or mechanical courses, so for gr11 and gr12 I will complete highschool at a bigger school, which will give me both GR11 & GR12 Transportation Technology (Auto shop), as well as GR11 & GR12 Technology Design (General Tech Design), and I will also get myself into ATLEAST 2 credits of a co-op at an auto shop, possibly 4 credits.

Post-secondary? My first prospects were on University; but after some careers counselling, I simply dont have the math aptitude for it. Atleast not for a university level; but for College, I am totally good to go there. So I will get a college degree for an automotive field at some point; depending on what occupation I want..

The thing is; that. I don't know what occupation I want. I know I want to work in automotives and I know I will be getting a college degree, but past that, I don't know. So I'd like some help.

Can you guys perhaps just list out some jobs in the automotive area, preferably that make over 60,000$ a year? (Hey, if I'm going through college, I want to atleast be nicely in middle class... Atleast.)

Also, I'd prefer an "exciting" job, if that's possible. So far in my list I have: "High Performance Engine Technician" (I would assume they're specialized technicians who work on engines for racing applications? Correct me if I'm wrong. I think they make over 60k a year and I'd love that job), "Race Car Driver" (obviously hard to get into, but would defientely be fun and probably over 60k/year), and a "Pit Crew Mechanic" (Also, probably hard to get into, but I hear its good money, and it's probably also exciting).

So. Can anyone help out a college-bound, auto-loving, 15 year old with what he might want to do for a career?

Edit: By the way, I currently live in Canada, Ontario, Greater Toronto Area, Mississauga. Cost of living here is currently quite high, so I need a good-enough paying job to compensate. Though I may possibly move to a different city or even further when I'm older and an adult and all that such.
