Auto-mechanic + diesel school good for end of the world prep?

wow a mechanic would be great you could make all kinds of DIY projects like generators and gasifiers. I always wanted to make a wood gasifier but don't want to risk it exploding since I am not that educated in the field lol

That's always a risk when your welding on anything that may involve pressures. I've been a welder, fabricator and mechanic. Now I'm just a manager, but these skills have saved me a lot of money, plus I think they will come in handy some day.
