what would you do?

[buff4lo]

im graduating this year, and now its coming to the time i need to decide a school.

i allready know im going to a UTI

but im torn between

arizona (better enviroment, and a for shure good job)

or

Chicago (2 hours awayu from home and friends, the same quality of learning)

im wondering what you guys would do in this situation :shock:

[Mr. Jollypants]

I'd go where the jobs are.

[dank24]

ur lame

[BillyB98]

Since youre in Wisconsin just like me i know youre sick of the snow! Just like i am. Id head to arizona in the nice ass weather where youll have good job security. Thats my plan....move to the nice weather.

[slowhatch]

id go to the pheonix campus since i live in tucson, but in your case because its a VERY nice campus. they got everything there, i was really amazed on what they had during my visit.

[anfrey]

this is your opportunity to move the fuck out of the cold ass midwest! i haven't seen more than a handful of days above freezing in the last couple of months.

[CajunRicer]

i hear the girls in Arizona are freakin HAWT, go there.

[DarkCreep]

My best friend goes to UTI in AZ.

[Bruckhoff_34]

Arizona FTW screw all the cold we got up here. go to warm weather and better opp. for job

[flora]

if you can afford to leave your hometown, do so! it's a great experience and you aren't held back due to old ties, etc etc

good luck! have a good last summer after high school. that was fun times. :]

[ThaJokaa]

go south no more coldness

[toneekay]

i vote for arizona as well, diff variety of girls, PLUS warmer weather for you to work on your car, and believe me, it feels GOOOOOOOOOOOD when your in the school shop with 7823648623478 fans blowing with the garage doors open, sun shining, ooo weee.

one downside, theres alot of thieves out there.

[Genuine Rolla]

go someplace you haven't been to.

You'll make new friends.

[toneekay]

lol 2 people voted for, your lame...

[Genuine Rolla]

don't waste the cash. Spend the money on something that'll benefit you for the rest of your life.

[253eg]

:lol:
i'd prolly head down to arizona as well.
or somewhere where its equally balanced between seasons..

[anfrey]

i would go somewhere where it would not be hotter than 97 degrees and not cooler than 50 degrees during the daytime.

[toneekay]

[buff4lo]

now its 5, including myself, i think its lame to ask a forum life altering questions.... but i wanted to know

don't waste the cash. Spend the money on something that'll benefit you for the rest of your life.

does that mean stay near home, or dont go to a uti?

[bizoneoeh]

where is it cheaper to live? Arizona is too hot for me. I like the snow :D but either way, you're lame :(

[toneekay]

oregon has good weather seasons thats NORMAL. warm summers, cold winters.

[bizoneoeh]

There's nothing like Cali......

[toneekay]

gotta love that killa kali

[Shiznit]

id move to arizona.... wait a minute... i did

[ryanM]

UTI is such a waste of time and a TON of money, and dont listen to them when they say your guarenteed a job. i know first hand automakers DONT WANT UTI GRADS. they want people with a real education, you could get a degree in english, and you would still get hired before a UTI grad.

i have 2 friends that go to UTI IL...one of them is a tool and loves it, the other wishes he would have gone to a real college.

but if you want to spend 9 months hanging out at an all dudes school, where most of the guys are rednecks that WILL fuck with you day in and day out for what you drive, and then at the end of it all be stuck without a job and $20k in debt, go for it!

[Silver Bullet]

try new things...











lame ass =]

:word: i have a friend at UTI and a friend at Wyotech, both schools are fuckin jokes.

[anfrey]

good schools don't need to advertise on television...

[bizoneoeh]

I have to agree with these guys. One of my pit crew :lol: went to UTI and got his degree or whatever they get. He know works as a cook at a local diner. :oops:

[buff4lo]

then what kind of school shold i go to?

[Shiznit]

traditional 4 year college/university. what degree were you going for?

[buff4lo]

traditional 4 year college/university. what degree were you going for?

automotive tech

[JiuJitsu_greg]

I would go to chicago. There are bunch of good jiujitsu schools there.

[anfrey]

automotive tech
have you thought about studying mechanical engineering?

[civic96hb]

have you thought about studying mechanical engineering?

yea be an engineer. you'll make a killer right out of college

[slowhatch]

automotive tech

if you really like arizona, there is a community college out here that dealerships love and will hire you while you go to school. when i graduate i might be doing a program with a ford dealership; they pay for me to go to school , i work at the dealership and when i finish, if im still with them, they give me a 4 grand tool set.

i have no worrys about a job out there, mu uncle is part owner of a drealership, (sands chevrolet)

and i dont know what i want to do with school right now, i want to be a mechanic, i know that...
and i visited thee uti in arizona... and loved it

and its about 50/50
people either love it or hate it

im confused:roll:

[kyle10182]

Arizona is a beautiful place.

[clover ej6]

I don't care what anyone says about automotive tech schools YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN TO IT. I've been going to Lincoln Tech since September and right off the bat I could tell that the teachers teach you the curriculum and what you do with it is up to you. My advice to you is go to UTI if you want, but stay focused and pay attention and you'll get the most out of it.

[kyle10182]

my advice would be to NEVER go to school to become an automotive tech. Its a shitty industry that everyone in it ends up hating. It'll also make working on your own car less enjoyable....why ruin a great hobby, and break your back for average pay?

[clover ej6]

I guess everyone's different :what:

[buff4lo]

i know people that make wayyy more, it all depends on how good you are.. imo

[anfrey]

dude, if this is your passion, then go for it. since your uncle owns a dealership, you're probably not hard pressed to seek post-graduation employment, so i say go down to AZ and enjoy the awesome weather.

and yes, it all depends on how good you are and how fortunate you are. my buddy dan's mechanic makes $80/hr ... he's one of the better porsche technicians in southern california.
