Default Jobs jobs jobs

After completing a 2 year certificate in motorsports, I find myself looking for a job, the problem being, which one!

Firstly, I can tig arc oxy and mig weld. I'm self taught but have passed in the courses I have done.
I have experience with engines, suspensions setups and brake setups, so mechanic wise I'm pretty good too
(I'm not trying to toot my own horn, just putting it out there)

So they are what I am trained in, and I find myself doing those jobs for a hobby.
But as of lately, I've been thinking of getting into the building trade, electrician or plumber to be specific.
I've always been good at building things, using my hands, and had excellent scores in maths and science at school.

I know I will get answers like "do what you want" but I need some opinions from others.
Do i take what I already am familiar with and get an apprenticeship as a boilermaker or fabricator? What jobs will this have post apprenticeship? I want to own my own business eventually.

Or do I try for something completely new, something that post apprenticeship will require me to only have a work van with tools instead of a factory.

Opinions appreciated.
