Pretty much when they decided the rules what they did was went to the closest elementry school, copied their rules, then threw some other BS stuff in to make them even more rediculous.
My whole point about everything is it is not hands on what so ever. You will come out of the school with the knowledge yet still have no idea what you are doing because you wont know how to put it into use. They trick you into thinking you are learning. Like basic engines and auto trans, those are 2 of the most hands on classes and going through them you think you are learning how to "rebuild them" as theysay. You arent learning how to rebuild them at all, you are learning how to take them apart and put them back together... any dumb ass can do that. You arent replacing any parts, you arent making them any better than they origionally were. Sorry but I dont need to take a 3 week class on taking something apart and putting it back together again.. I was doing that when I was 4. I'm in fuel and ignitions 2 right now and a good example is they teach you how to use noid lights. The noid lights are glued on to the harness and you turn on the car and they flash, great i just learned how to see pretty lights flash when i turn a key! Now how the fuck do I actually hook this shit up if I have to do it myself? I'll never know. They teach youhow to use a breakout box on fords. Guess what! The breakout box is hardwired into the car they use! So um yea I just learned nothing there! I dont know how the hell to hook it up and yet again, never will (at uti anyways). All these things all you do is see them work, ok great, any idiot can do that, but if you dont know how to hook everything up you'll never get to that point. You havent been through any hard rediculous, absolutely stupid classes yet Ryan. I've been there since January, trust me, it only gets worse. Pretty much everyone i know wants to quit they just arent because if you quit you have to start paying off your loans as soon as you quit. Luckily for me I have no loans because I am thinking about quiting this phase.
i understand what you are saying.but before i started i have had a lot of hands on experience.for those who dont or dont have a good back round in automobiles then yeah you wont understand some things.the way i see it with all the dumb shit they teach is that i will never have to do that so its whatever to me.yes the rules are dumb as hell but thats with anywhere you go.and no i havent feed in the bull shit they try to imprint in your head. i just laugh at the bull shit and move on with my day.
