It's a waste of money IMO. Was going to go there, but changed my mind after talking to a bunch of co-workers who are all dealership master technicians at Chevy. Yes, its all hands on and you do learn a lot. But, out of 9 of my friends that all graduated from UTI, not one of them landed a decent job in the automotive industry. All of them are working misc jobs trying to pay back the $25k loan they took out.

My other buddy went to alameda college and graduated from their diesel program.. he got a job a PG&E making $46/hr at 20 Years old. No loans or anything. Says it's an awsome program and you learn just as much as a trade school.

Does the GI bill covers the loan or pays off if yes then you should do it. Right now I'm going to community college and they have auto classes here and I saving ton of money!

If you really wanna go you should plan to be in the top 5% of the school brcause your wasting you money otherwise. Dealers only want the best and I dont blame them

I did the automotive/diesel program at the Dallas campus. It's a great program but you only get out of it what you put into it. There were so many slackers and dumbasses. I went in there and hammered it out and graduated on time with a 4.0gpa. I work at a dealership but it's not your average dealership so it keeps things interesting.

Thanks for all the opinions, good and bad. I have some more time to decide what I'm going to do.

And I can definitely understand that there will be guys there not taking it seriously and fuckin off.

And yes the GI Bill does cover tech schools.

why not use the GI bill and get a BA/BS at a University? It'll open more doors for you and you'll have a better pussy to cock ratio in your classes

If I were you I'd take a welding course or some other technical school while you're still in. Go to the education center and check out some things out, TA will pay for a one time technical school while you're active duty. I'm over at Camp Pen
I MEF G-4.
