Hey, scooter, Pat made you an offer. If he's serious, you couldn't learn from anyone better. Pay him what you would pay for the school, go to work for him and it would be win/win for both of you.

As an engineer, I am often asked for advice about my profession and my number one answer is to get into school and get an "internship" at a company that does engineering. I think that is good advice for any job.

An "internship" might pay minimum wage or no wage, but at least you'll get to see what the job is like. During your internship, you might find that you don't like pulling wrenches all day; it's not for everybody. Or you might see another job in the auto industry that looks more appealing to you. In the end, you'll have a degree, some experience, and a few contacts. You might even have a job if the company has an opening!

All in all, I'd say an internship is just as important as the degree.

don't forget the manufacturer specific schooling.

Cat comes to mind as one of the better ones, I heard John Deere does something similiar.
The Cat techs we get at work aren't too bad, make fair money, and seem to be in short supply.
Currently working in the Gulf of Mexico, there are plenty of marine diesels to be serviced. Tho many of the guys are in Brazil or Nigeria at the moment....

i had heard something about some of the cat techs shipping off the austrailia low supply of them down there. diesel has caught my eye in more ways then one.


does pat take grants? student loans? probably not or else i would!!!
