[QUOTE]Originally posted by MACK.GT: [QB] So thanks, and ill keep it simple like you guys suggest,, Dan, I'm still in school, taking automotive electrical systems. next semester is brakes,steering, and suspension(all one class). And I might take heating and a/c also(a night class), then engine performance the following semester. And then that's all the courses for the certificate. I plan on applying(for auto shops) after the brake class though. I feel ill have a pretty good foundation to enter an actual auto repair shop then. I wish these were multiple offers for that already , that would be great. I plan on taking some ASE tests after electrical while its still fresh. When the school once again offers classes to become a smog tech, Ill take those too. I'm like half done with my current course work. [/QB][/QUOTE]

And when I went to interview at job #1 it was more about them checking me and my experience. Out, which is fine, but I'm feeling a lot less informed about what they offer the worker.
