ive gotten 2 good jobs out of wyotech. but you have to bust your ass and show ur teachers and future employers that you are dedicated to what you do. you also have to be able to put ur knowledge to use(i.e. work well with ur hands, as well as the analytical side of ur brain, otherwise you wont troubleshoot for shit) dave(articzap) and myself went, he went collision whereas i went tech. you can pm us for further info. if u so desire(idk if ur autobody or what, but im sure he’d help you out if you were) ---

> [@Mike93](#): > > I know you didn’t ask for it…but I think you need to rethink your motives for going to spendy school. Don’t base your school of choice around the fact you have car payment. Sell the car, go to a good school, buy better car later. i was going to say the same thing lol ---

UTI only charged me $14k in 2004 including my Toyota training. 30k is if you take the diesel programs and the classes to work on big trucks as well as gen auto. I don’t reccomend wrenching for a career but if your heart is set on it it’s really not a bad school if you take it seriously. ---

> [@cky89](#): > > I’ve tried this. I’ve had it FS everywhere and I’m stuck with it. Anything can be sold. Seriously, going to school is a BIG decision that will impact the rest of your life. If you have to take a loss on selling your car now to get into a school that could create better opportunities later on, then that’s a sacrifice you have to make. Now I know nothing of Wyotech and how good/bad the program is, but I went to an expensive college and can only offer the following. No matter where you go, hard work can pay off. I saw some incredibly talented people go no where after college simply because they thought the name of the school would carry them on…and I also saw people less talented that put a ton of work into the program and were rewarded afterward. Bottom line, don’t let your car hold you back. ---

^^ why not? School of Automotive Machinists(SAM) is there as well. > **[School of Automotive Machinists & Technology | SAM Tech](http://samtech.edu/)** > > Here at the School of Automotive Machinists & Technology (SAM Tech), we help you get the hands-on training you need to jumpstart your career. Building engines isn’t for everyone. It’s only for the best. And we help place the best automotive... BIG money to be made after going there if you have the smarts, charizma and connections. same price, but you get such a better/focused curriculum that would put you WAY ABOVE wyotech’s graduates ---

I took a quick look thru their site, I didn’t get to search into it a ton because I’m doing homework, but is it all american cars? I’m more into imports, but it’s more of the technical side of motors, and the machining that is pretty generic no matter where the car was made I suppose. ---

SAM is big. I went to ECC and it was worth every penny. I like wrenching on cars and I am pretty good at it to boot. I went to learn though and I busted my ass. I didn’t miss classes or not show up. ECC was great, teachers know their shit, albeit they are somewhat domestic biased. As already stated though unless you have awicked passion for wrenching don’t do it. The field is not very rich up here. down south is a different story. ---

As already stated though unless you have awicked passion for wrenching don’t do it. The field is not very rich up here. down south is a different story. I couldn’t stand how biased the teachers were. I constantly got ignored and picked on for driving a VW, pretty shitty if you ask me. Also, I do love doing this very, very much. I don’t plan on living here much longer, school is the only thing tying me down to this area currently. I’m pretty much looking for a reason to move away from here. If I can get a good job near a good school I would be happy to move from here in a heartbeat. ---
