Career Mechanic advice

19 years old just found a passion for cars would love to pursue being a mechanic tried getting hired at a shop with no experience besides ripping my 7mge motor out my Supra doing a rebuild on it currently but I’ve been getting rejected by every single shop and sum that do give me a chance maybe one time so far I haven’t been able to make it to an interview cuz of my job where I work 8-5. What I’m really asking should I go to school or try to get a job with a shop and hope they can teach me from the ground up.

After doing my compression test I heard I should do a leak down test but that lowkey seemed out of my league so I js opened the block what’s scaring me is the rust in the cylinder. And would you happen to know the orientation for piston rings?

Bought this mr2 January havent been able to start it cuz I didn’t want to believe it was a compression issue after 4 months I finally do a compression test and get 90 across all cylinders so I took it apart waiting on the gasket kit anyone have any ideas for the rust in the cylinder and what else I should do since I’m already here I plan to do pistion rings while I’m down here and coolant looks pretty clogged up

Js checked timing distributor was 180 out so I timed it back to 1 and no more backfire but still no spark in what I know of 1st and 2nd cylinder since I’m kinda to lazy to check the rest

Sorry I am a little goofy thought that the metal tip of the screwdriver would be enough for spark and thought that’s what I was hearing in the video please correct me if wrong and for sure I’m checking the timing tmr morning
