NADC taught me the basics of how and why things work. Once you get that down, you can work on anything.. my dad had me fix a lawn mower engine when I was 9. Had a local mower shop ( Holmes mower RIP) that told me how to re-ring the engine.. and here I am 40 years later, still turning wrenches.. and loving it. I'm glad to hear yalls story.. hands on is the best way to learn..

Went to UTI in 04 did the hot rod U program and that was probably the coolest part of it.. as for the 30k and the rest of the classes I think you are better suited to be a porter and work your way to the top . ASE certifications don’t mean nothing! I had student of the phase badges and I was told I wasn’t jaguar or Audi material by Doug k. (Director) tried to make me take ford training but I worked for Nissan at the time and I knew the school was full of it. Now I am a shop foreman for land river Jaguar for the last 14 years so I believe it can be done as long as you really really want it.

I have worked on vehicles since the 2nd grade. Obviously i started with adult help and supervision. To this day i still work on my vehicles. I am 55.
I am completely old school. Everything i do is done with hand tools. No air and no battery.
I took auto shop in my junior and senior year. Wyotech came in and gave us the entire speal. Video, Q&A, everything.
I wish that I had taken the opportunity to go to Wyotech. I have gained skills and helped others but i could have done more.
I have pondered on the missed opportunities in my life.
I feel, in my case, it comes down to really one thing.
I have never been one to assert myself. Pretty much in anything i do, no idea why.
So if you are young, love working with your hands, love vehicles, and want to learn an awesome trade go to a school.
You may ask why dont i go to school. Well let me say its not my age stopping me, its my body. I have had a spinal fusion. Pretty much it slows me down, limits what i can do, makes everything painful.
My vehicle that i work in is a 1993 Jeep YJ. 4.0l
Automatic
4x4
Something for the younger generation to consider and ponder and older as well.

Its a lot easier for us guy to get into the field. I took the hands on approach and never got ASEs or went to school. Started in autozone to learn some basics, went to tires plus to be a lube tech, went to a diesel shop as a parts guy, became a diesel mechanic, worked my way up to lead diesel mechanic in under 5 years, and then got tired of not being paid enough for my work. So now im well over paid to do basic maintenance on fleets for many companies.

I completed my career tech program(automotive service technology) Tuesday and got hired Wednsday by the local Honda dealership as a service advisor. The parts manager seemed REALLY impressed with the fact that I have 7 of the 8 certs. I'm not comfortable with attempting automatic transmission but I have the other 7 now. Completed a 2 year program in 18 months.

I’m from the LA area and was fortunate enough to have Cerritos College which offered a GM apprenticeship program. The same school offered Chrysler and Ford apprenticeship programs. Rio Hondo College offered a Honda apprenticeship program, and Citrus College offered a Toyota apprenticeship program. Less costly than private colleges.

I had a part time job on the wash rack, the shop foreman asked me where my el Camino was and I told him I was overhauling the engine . When I finished and drove it to work he offered me a job. He said if I could overhaul aV-8 that a 2-T would be no problem. My luck was a guy that offered me a chance.
