right now im in tech school (12th grade) for automotive. and next year im either going to ATC or Northhampton to continue my auto education. I've visited northhampton a few times, (my teacher's dad is the dean) and it is a real good, nationally ranked. all new equipment, tools. etc

So do you want Body classes or Auto class? I'm right now in NEIT (New England Int of Tech), first quarter. Its ok, taken most of the class in high school, but im learning somethings. UTI is ok, ive heard 3rd person storys from it, but cant say its true or not.

If your looking to work now, look for family owned or smaller shops that are looking for people to work. Thats how i started out. Worked at a body shop for a little while, then went to a auto shop for awhile. You just have to find someone willing to give you a chance.

If your looking for a school, make sure you visit the school before signing up for it. Most schools have a Tech night that give tours of the campus and you can meet the teachers. Ask questions and meet the teachers. Thats how you will know if its a good school or not.
