Does the mechanic job pay good?

Does the mechanic job pay well? I am a 12 year old 7th grader, first year into middle school. I want to be a mechanic when I’m old enough to apply for a job application for a mechanic, but I don’t know the salary, or average monthly pay. I want to work on cars. I need enough money to purchase my own things for myself because when I am old enough to apply for a job, I know my dad will want me to start buying my own things as he is now, but more strict. Honestly, any amount of money is fine but because I will be in school, I will probably work only 2 days a week on the weekends for only about 8 hours. If I make minimum wage, that is fine because I have an income. So please, could someone help me understand the average weekly pay for a mechanic that is going to be a teenager? And I know pay depends on my age. Since I will be working young, I do not think I will be a full mechanic, maybe like an assistant. Also, I will start my job around 14-15 years old. So, does the mechanic job pay well as a 14-15 year old working on the weekends for 8 hours?

I’m a middle school student that’s in the 8th grade working for a program that involves hands on experience as custodial and learning soft skills. I have been interested in this field of being a mechanic since I was 9 but don’t know how, when, or where to start.
