Having done both, I'd comment that it depends on your goals.

If your goals include sending multiple kids to college, buying new cars occasionally, taking regular vacations, paying the mortgage off early on a house in a prestigious neighborhood, retiring with a pension and a 401k, and still having money leftover to buy all the music gear you want... the machine shop wins hands down.

(But, no one will ever applaud your performance in the machine shop.)
