i never went to uti....but i do make good money. I am a trailer jockey at a duie pyle. i move tractor trailers around all night. i would hate to be a tech. especially when you are new, all you do is add accessories and do oil changes...then you graduate up to chasing down noises on some dumb old ladys dodge intrepid...haha no thanks!!!

[AWDboostin]

yeah thats why im never gonna work for some crappy garage or dealer haha that stuff does suck,i work at a porsche performance shop now and i just wanna learn some more then try and get into the porsche program at uti and when thats done find another porsche shop to work at,and even if i dont get into the ptap program im going right back to my job now with just more knowledge and better backup credentials from uti

(not trying to bring you down at all just personal experience) have you talked to anyone that goes/went there? they make it sound so fun when your touring but its not... AT ALL.

I also went to UTI. HUGE waste of time and money. If you have any knowledge of cars now, don't bother going there. They teach you like you know NOTHING about cars at all, more than half the time I spent their I was learning about stuff I already knew. When you do get to do hands on, it has to be on your own car most of the time, and even then they don't let you do anything big that takes more than a an hour or so because the next class needs to use the shop. There are SO many kids there, because either they got a free ride from the state or mommy and daddy sent them there just to get them out of the house, so they just cause a scene in the classroom all the time and give the instructors such a hard time that they can't teach anything. I think if the would do testing BEFORE you got into school and make sure you were serious it would be much better. The tour guides seriously lie to you so much and its NOTHING like they make it out to be. The best advice I can give you is if you already know a good bit about cars, don't waste your time at UTI, I've learned so much more working in a shop then I did at uti.

The best thing they did for me was help me find a job. I work at a dealership and make 16 an hour, its a flatrate shop and sometimes we are really slow so that sucks.

yeah the main reason im really attending is because of something to fall back on,looks better on my resume yah know,when i get out i really think im just going to go back to my old job since thats where i really learned stuff over the summer,i was swappin exhausts on 996's and installing sway bars on a gt2, strippin interiors to make a race car,i dont know whats better than that

Sounds like what you are doing is just turning bolts.

I'd rather use my brain and diagnose something.

[AWDboostin]

well when im only 17 I dont think they want me playing with somebody's engine trying to diagnose a misfire or something haha
