Thread: Back to School?

Tweet

As far as Wyotech, I don't know a thing about them, other than the expensive infomercials they run on tv. They look good there. How good they are in the real world as far as training you to come out an earn a living, others on here will have to address. Ask some shops what they think.

I am in the marine industry (boats) and we get bright eyed kids in who have just graduated from one of the schools that train you to be a marine technician, and they have been told they are going to make all this money to start, once they get out of school. This is an absolute lie, and most times we have to start them at the bottom as a helper, because they don't know anything. And the school costs $ 25,000.00. We just hired one, and he is starting out washing boats and doing oil changes, until he learns other skills.

Schooling is good, but in most industries you have to pay your dues. But at least at 19 you are doing the right thing by asking questions.

I editted my own post, because after giving it some thought, felt my views on the subject were not appropriate for this forum.
