Whatever job you choose, putting stuff together is a "factory" job that will eventually be replaced with automated processes and in the short term, cheap labor. If you're going to have a job that involves putting together hardware, your primary benefit must not be putting together the hardware, but something more valuable, like consultation on which hardware to get in the first place.
Look at a company like https://www.ixsystems.com/. You tell them your problem, and they consult your on what you need to solve that problem and also help support you.
A quick google of "computer technician" returns a general description of someone who builds, configures, and updates computer systems. It is a good foot in the door and learning experience to put stuff together, but that's can't be your end game. More and more devices are now turning into appliances that require little configuration, and more hardware integration is happening. For the most part, you can purchase a device and just plug it in and it works like magic.
Data centers do need people on the floor that can install servers and there will be need of these kind of people for a long time, just not a lot of job positions. Be careful, these are more service style jobs and many times require working off hours in case something goes down.
Whatever you do, don't over think the situation. Find out if computer technician looks interesting to you. If it is, I'm sure you'll find a job and the experience you gain from that job will be worth more than your education. Just don't pick a degree because it looks like easy money. 1,000 other people are thinking the same thing.
