After about a year and a half of doing nothing and being lazy, I've finally decided to enroll in a college, however I'm not quite sure what classes I want to take that can help me on the path to getting a career. I don't really know what I want to do in the first place, but one of the things that comes to my mind is guitar luthier. I like to make things and guitars seem like something I'd really enjoy making.
So is there anyone here that knows anything about luthier or the processes of becoming a luthier?
Edit: I forgot to mention, I suck with measurements and I took a wood shop class my Senior year, but didn't stay at the school long enough to actually learn anything about making things with wood. Does that drastically affect my chances?
Thanks for the input guys. I hope some others can come across this thread and provided more information.

It's really time consuming. It's hard but not terrible, especially if you're gifted with crafting skills.
