I went to Erwin tech, learned a lot from them, got a job at acura right after I graudated. Worked there 3 years, didn't make enough money so I quit and I am back in school for computer information systems. The point is, if you like busting your balls for little money and like spending thousands on tools and a decent tool box, working in the 100 degree weather and getting dirty then go for it, but if that doesn't sound appealing to you then go to a 4 year college, get a degree and work in an air conditioned office and work on your car as a hobby.
