I had fun at UTI, but mostly because we were just screwing around and racing cars and banging high school girls. but i dont tell anybody i went, i did learn some stuff, but you should just keep in mind that it costs too damn much.

Well, A simple high school certificate coupled with technical training certification will make one eligible for the job of diesel mechanic. I am looking to become good diesel mechanic with good support under professionals.

i was thinking about UTI after the Army but have decided to go to local commmunity college and try to get my foot in the door at a local diesel, tractor, auto shop working part time to get my on the job training. im mechanically inclined not only from working on Apache helicopters in the army, but also working on my own vehicles as well as friends and family members. I hope once i get back stateside my plan falls into place. I really want to be a diesel mechanic, wether working on diesel trucks, or working on tractors, farm equipment, construction equipment..AS LONG AS IT BURNS DIESEL FUEL I DONT GIVE A S***!!

Ohio Technical College is also a great school. They started as a Diesel only school and have expanded from there. There are also a Cummins school. Great teachers and being a Non-Profit school they aren't there for your money. One of the few schools I have found where they truly care about the students!

I was going to go to wyotech but then i applied at the Deere dealer down the road and some truck companies and they all said i would have a better chance getting hired if i went to Kishwaukee College in Malta IL. the program was 2yrs and 1/4 of price of wyo. companies and farmers bring there equipment to have the students work on them. i LOVED it there. after 2 months i told my buddy, he dropped UTI and started at Kish and got a job right away. Just look at some local choices. cause alot of times they are a better fit.
