Default Autobody repair...

I was thinking about taking an Autobody Repair 1 class at my local vocational school. Its $35 for registration, $5 for a student ID, and then $40 for the actual class. Theres three different schedule line ups; MTWThF : 8am-10am, MTWThF : 10:15am-12:15pm, and MTWTh : 12:45pm-3:15pm.

Description: Provides instruction in estimating the cost of the damage repair, mechanical and electrical components, plastics, adhesives, painting, and refinishing at the basic advance levels.

I wanted to go for a medical career, but for right now. I was thinking about getting into a automotive career for the time being. Then once pass Autobody Repair 1, I want to take the second class. After Im done with both, I plan on going back to school for EMT.

What do you guys think?

I agree with that, but between the two, I'd become an RN, and with your 4 free days per week, you could do whatever your heart desired.

Very true, but I dont plan on going through with being an RN. I would just get my cert. for EMT, and then join the Fire Academy. But I wanna take up Auto Body Repair as a side job, or for just my own work.
