I signed up to go to Wyo Tech and I am supposed to start in August of 08. I have heard from a lot of people that it is a waste of time to go and that I would have just as much luck going to a shop and getting a job as an apprentice. I would really appreciate some input from all of you cuz 30k is a lot to drop on school if I could start at the same place with a little bit of luck. I would really appreciate any advice from people who have gone there or employers. Thanks!

I went to Lincoln Tech and it was a waste of money. I've heard the same about Wyo-Tech. I agree that you'll learn just as much if not more if you can get your foot in the door as an apprentice.

Well, what is it that you want to go to school for? If you are interested in hi-performance and engine building I encourage you to check us out. samracing.com If you are looking to be a tech in a dealership we're not for you and my advice would be to try to get your foot in the door as an apprentice.
