[QUOTE="Gringo185, post: 14203728, member: 42351"] In my OP, I said that the BAH is pro-rated. You just said housing is pro-rated. Are you agreeing with me? If so, this has been a very odd exchange. Honestly, no, I do not feel as though I am in a position that I would not have been feasible without UTI. Dealerships have entry level positions (porter, lube-rack, detailer, etc) and, by definition, an entry level position is for someone that has little to no experience and/or training. However, I do feel that the learning curve will be a fraction as steep and that I will be able to move up significantly faster (line tech to team lead to foreman, etc) than if I hadn't attended. And for me, that is where the true value is. I understand that for someone going to school out of pocket, UTI is extremely expensive for what can be argued as minimal reward. But for someone like me, that had the GI Bill available, has a desire to be a technician, and most likely wouldn't use the GI Bill for anything else, it made sense. I completely agree. A terrible employee is going to be a terrible employee regardless of schooling. In my time at UTI, there were many students that didn't take the program seriously, didn't show up on time, and did half-ass work. And that is almost certainly how they are going to act when they get to their shop. But like derklug said, in some cases, a degree (certificate in this case) shows a level of commitment that may appeal to an employer. [/QUOTE]
