I was in the past, there are many variables to factor, why to many for me to type.
The best money is in doing 24hr service on autos, but late at night can get dicey, airbags kinda suck too.
Back when, you could have made a run of it but nowadays with home despot and the mega-low-mart taking all of the key cutting business, it just wouldn't be worth it. (just my opinion)
Anyway I duno about the states but locksmiths often charge stupid amounts of money for even the most simple call outs to gain access when someone's locked themselves out for example. IS that nit the case stateside?

This made sound odd, but ifyou have never worked on a lock, yahoo image search "Inside of a house lock"
on the 1st page there are a couple of good shots of the workings of some old style and new home locks.
It will give you a good idea of what goes on in those 2 styles of basic home locks.
I guy I worked with had his nose broken by the steering wheel airbag while trying to change ignitions, it happens, not
really his fault, but regardless that was a 500 dollar loss for the business (Being liable). Side airbags are the worry for
door entry, just as pricey to replace. In my opinion if you want to start small, put off automotive for now. Best of luck
