Has anyone on here attended Wyotech or a similar school? I have grades to get into just about any school but i really love working on cars more than anything.
Or does anyone have any other opinions on what i should do in terms of college?

 

my buddy went to a similar college. he's now a mechanic at a crappy auto store, making crap money, living in a crap apartment, in a crap part of town. I dunno man, you got the grades, now go to college and get rich.

 

Thats what i have been thinking on. My biggest fear is that i would end up stuck in a autostore or something. Wyotech seems to have really good job placement though.
Do you know the name of the school he went to?

 

Hey man, don't be dissing on my school. I'm headed there in January. Knowing a few people that have come out of the Laramie campus, one is a chassis engineer for Furniture Row Racing's Sprint Cup Team based out of South Denver, Colorado and another runs one of the top late-model and touring teams in the Whelen series and ASALMS.

 

Dont work on cars for a living find a diffrent career. Working on cars everyday kills your passion. The money isnt that good and most auto shops are flat rate which is a terrible way to make a paycheck some of the time.

 

The only way it will ever be good is if you get a shot with a race team. Whether it be nascar, nhra etc. What sucks is thats never guarenteed. If you go to college at least you know where you are going.

 

Ya i talked to my parents and they told me that unless i go to college first they wont pay the half they promised so i guess college it is. And then when i get out of college i can go there and have somethign to fall back on!
