Anyone here go to UTI? or planned on it?

Like I said earlier, but with a new revision, save the money you'd spend on tuition, get a job in a shop, then feel free to spend 35K on a rollaway.

i got grants and stuff so only like 15k is comming out of pocket. and the difference with me, and the others who dont want to be there, is i know im paying for it, i WANT to be there, I WILL do the fucking best i can, and i WILL get a fucking job. lol i feel like ron paul giving a speach

You really have to work your ass off to get that job after you graduate, my advice is start looking when your half way through. Their "employment services" office will help out a lot but really not until your last few classes. They are not going to do all the work for you. So email and call as many places during your school time. Best of luck to you if you decide UTI.

dude im signed uup already! enrollment is august 2nd! finally moving out in like 6 days!

i understand im going to have to work my way up, but im not going to accept minumum wage, or something near it. I'm going to school for at uti no matter what anyone else here thinks, and my only expectation for it is to have a garenteed job pretty much when i get out. i hope they don't let me down, :/

You're in for a wake-up. Not just about UTI, but life in general.

Just remember, at the end of the day it's not all about you, and all the variables created by all the outside influences there will be where your issues will fall, which puts you ahead of a lot of folks that will be your classmates but, they are what will drag you down.

I've never gone to UTI, and obviously have no intentions of doing so, but I had a buddy that graduated there a year or two ago. Nicest guy you would ever meet, willing to help out out no matter what.

From what he told me, UTI's "guaranteed job after graduating" was that they posted open job listing on some wall. That's it. You had to do the leg work after that, and they wouldn't help you. Fuck that.

He graduated, and could not find a job anywhere. He moved away, and last I heard about him from mutual friends was that he was working at a Midas or some shit like that, with absolutely no money to his name. I haven't heard from him in over 1.5 years. I feel bad.

That's more than I pay out of pocket for schooling at a high ranking 4 year university. You're doing something wrong.

I would assume I'm about your age, and I can safely tell you that reality and the "real world" is going to bitch slap you when you get out of UTI.

And, not to put the death blow to your bubble, but just because their name is in it, I'll "guarantee after you graduate" that no NASCAR team will even wipe their ass with the diploma you get.

It's called marketing, and you got sold. In some circles, you'd be called a "mark".

i know uti isnt going to land the job for me, i expect to go out and have to dig one up. and i believe itll give me a better chance of geting hired, over someone that didnt go to uti, and doesn't have any experience. and, ive worked too long in minimum wage with full time shifts, and only bringing in around 200 a week. thats not going to cut it for me.


and for the last time i do not want a nascar job lol

i dont want to go to a 4 year university. i pulled a unweighted 3.6 gpa all through hs, with universitys in mind, but i decided i dont want to go that route. i think im doing something right, when the tuition is like 34k and i got more than half knocked out.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I'd hire the you with 18 months of Jiffy Lube before I'd hire the you after 14 months of UTI and 4 months of job huntin'.

Honestly, I admire your work ethic and enthusiasm, and I believe those qualities can take you far in life, no matter what profession you're in. I just think you have a very idealistic view on things, and you're going to be really disappointed when you're faced with real life situations.

I mean, look. You have numerous people who have worked in the auto industry, and almost all of them are saying that UTI grads are looked down upon in a sense. They're basically like the Communication majors of the business world, basically a "Mickey Mouse" degree. There has to be a reason for that.

$200 a week on minimum wage. If money is what you are after, maybe look at a different profession. Or even a different career while still being in the auto industry. Like I mentioned earlier about my friend, he literally had no money to his name, was working at some tire shop, and still had to pay off those huge school debts.
I mean $200 is almost what I make in a day, and I'm not trying to brag or anything, it just seems you want to make a decent living, and I think you will be sorely disappointed.

[xwill112x]

lol i think that i will start looking for a job the minute i move down there, so im sure ill be fine. farbin, i grew up on a farm, im going to move out there, and help you cow punch and grow some taters when i get some bank saved 8)

im glad you can point things out, and not start a flamewar. thats rare around here. also, i plan on having to work my way up the "industry" so to speak. what career in the auto industry would you suggest?

I have no idea. Maybe something more on the managerial/corporate side of things, where you're still involved in the industry, but aren't relegated to shop bitch and have more opportunites for advancement/salary?
You said you had a 3.6 GPA in HS, so I doubt you're a total dumbass like some kids I knew.

my weighted avg in HS with honors classes was around a 4.0, unweighted it was a 3.6.

im just going to give it a shot, and give it my 100%, and if it takes me no where, i can come back and say, you all were right. Atleast im dreaming, and picking a dream to chase, unlike 90% of todays youth that is still stuck in they're parents house at the age 25 with nothing going for them because they never chased or pursued anything.
