You couldnt have put it any better!! I graduated from wyotech in march of 2006,,,so just a few months ago. I worked my ass off in school, and accepted everything i was taught, even if it was different than what I thought was "right"...you ahve to be open minded!!! Wyotech, or any other school, will not make you a master at anything, but it will give you what it takes to get out in the field. Yes it is expensive, yes it is worth it. So far, I couldn't have asked for a better job, i get to do some metal fab, some body work, some painting, assembly,,,a little bit of everything. I've met some amazing people in the industry, and already a lot of my dreams are coming true, but only because of how much i pushed myself to make it happen. That is just my 2 cents, you can do anything if you want it bad enough!
