[QUOTE="ibleedblue65, post: 14202608, member: 137757"] I graduated from UTI in Orlando in ' 07. A lot of people dog on the school and rightfully so. For the cost ($25-30k) you really don't gain anywhere near enough hands on training. The program is too short and the school is run strictly as a business. That said, I gained a lot of foundational automotive knowledge there that continues to benefit me today. It gives me a leg up on a lot of guys who have been in the field much longer. To answer Matt's questions, I do not believe I would have my current job if not for uti. You can expect to see <$15 hourly with no experience and just schooling. I lucked out coming out of school and scored a job with a small local performance shop. The owner(an excellent tech) took me under his wing and I apprenticed under him for years before becoming the lead tech at that shop. I have since moved up to what is/was my dream job. I make good money and enjoy my work(I work on late model sports cars every day in a very nice shop) but turning wrenches isn't for everyone. It can be a very challenging field. You have to think on the fly(become an expert instantly), work your ass off and constantly push to improve yourself to be successful. [/QUOTE]
