Please, for me call Lincoln Tech and tell them you won't be attending. Biggest waste of $30k ever! I hated it from day 1.

Re: Indiana Fbody ?
I think I actually lost knowledge by going there. If you know anything at all about auto mechanics, it's a waste of time and money. They treat you like you are in grade school with all of the rules and **** too.

First few months?
I mean I can't tell you not to go of course. Hell you don't know me. I'm just telling you to think about it because if you want to be a mechanic, get a job at a dealership because that's the best learning you will ever get. Working on old junk that's missing half it's components (LTI), will not teach you anything. Not to mention you sit around for the whole night every night except for about an hour because all the idiots that dont' even know how to change their oil hold everything up.

Re: Indiana Fbody ?
I went through the Auto tech and management programs and came out with an associates in Automotive Service Management.
If you like being treated like an 8 year old then it's the place for you. You get 2 15min breaks and 1 20 min break for lunch. If you aren't back on time, you lose points. If you are sick a day, you lose points. If you are 2 minutes late in the morning, you lose points. It's absoloutly rediculous for being a "college". When I went to a real University, attendence didn't matter at all. If you could learn the material and pass the tests....you were good.
If you are going to the school, you should be adult enough to figure out how to best manage your time at school, work and with your social life to get ahead in life. You should be able to juggle it all with school to be able to learn the material. They don't see it that way. You must be in class all day the whole time....even when nobody is doing anything. <----that happens a lot There is sooo much down time that you really start wondering what all this money you are throwing out is going for.

Most dealers and shops will tell you they hire UTI, Lincoln, Wyo Tech guys to change oil and all. Then they send them to their own schools.
A buddy of mine is a Desiel mechanic and they told him to not go to school first, they hired him and he worked for a semester, then they sent him to a two year school in Ohio and pretty much paied for all of it. Thats when he was working for CAT, now he works for another company. Every Tech I have talked told me they got a job first then the shop sent them to the schools.
If I ever wanted to work on cars/trucks for a living having the degree that I almost have will help a lot. Every guy that I have talked to that has it and works for a dealer walked into a job at the dealer and went straight to ASE school/classes threw the dealer.
Most race teams will not hire you with out one either. Knew a guy that went to Lincoln and went to DEI (Dale Earnhart Inc) expecting to walk into a job and they asked him if he had his A&P (Airframe and Power Plant) and he said no and they said get it then apply to work for us again.
For my two year its a little less than 20k and there are a lot of former automotive techs going there. School is at the Indy Airport.
Oh you dont loose points or anything either. The FAA requires you to take so many hours (has in 60 minute hours) so if you miss any time you have to make it up. Eaither hang around after class doing projects or writing essays (just write a chapter out of one of the text books LOL).
Breaks are NICE you get 10 minutes off every hour or so (get to mess around on the internet and all) and 40 minutes for lunch. This is because your main class every day is a little over 6 hours then you go to your english and math or whatever. It sounds bad but its really not, at the most any given semester your have 3 classes a day and like 8ish hours a day or so.
Whats nice is that Purdue campus has a campus in the same building and when you are done with your AS at VU all the credits transfer for two years of a four year Purdue degree in avaiation.
You can go to the Indy campus or the one in Vincennes.
VU

Everything is very hands on, when you are in the lab you are turning wrenches, none of that wait for the other guys so you can work crap.

Re: Indiana Fbody ?
It would take a lot for it to start (more of a problem on the airplanes there). The real reason is that what happens if you turn it and the other one hits a person in the head 
. Trip to the E.R. for that one.
I have seen people hang on them and loose their grip and it bust them in the jaw. Or it flies up comes back down, hits them on the head and they go to sleep for a while lol.
