This doesn't really have anything to do with reimbursment of tuitioin but....Before I graduated from high school I was looking into the Motorcycle Mechanic part of UTI. The guy came out to my house and showed me a video. Everything looks cool, sounds fun, and it probably is. When he got to the part about how much money I would probably be making I was alittle shocked. He said in my first year I would still be at around $8 an hour and it would only increase a few bucks after awhile. My dad and I called around to local shops and asked if going to the school really helped get you in, and sometimes the answer was "yes", but for the most part it was just as easy to start out low and work your way up. I think making min wage for a year is better than spending 25K+ for a year and then starting at just above min wage. You would probably learn the same stuff too.
