Re: Challenge Thread

I have talked to BMW, Jaguar, VW, Audi, Volvo company reps about the schools and the kids going to their programs. they said that the kids that come out of Wyotech just cant pass the standard tests to get into the programs. Especially BMW, which uses a much harder test to get in. Also UTI has the nascar deal, and i guess that facility is super nice.
After being in the field for a year or so, i really dont think school matters at all. it dont teach you shit about working in the real world. You have to figure out 90% of the stuff yourself. School just gets you into the door.
If you do it right, get into a good program, and can learn quick, 60k is EASY to make your first year in the business. not alot, but it makes a decent living.

Also, at UTI, we had a wyotech grad there...working in the maintence dept. lol
