the guy came tonite and it cost a crap load to go. It is $31,000 for 87 weeks plus about $5,500 for housing. If i still go i better get a damn good education for that money. I plan on taking auto/diesel and industrial tech and ford fact. I could go to a local school and still have money in my pocket. I wonder if i can recover the cost with a better paying job from a uti education.

My classes would total up to 2340 clock hours. I just looked at a local schools diesel program and it was 9,000 a year for a year. It has you take a bunch of general classes while uti is just auto work for 6 hours a day. It cost me about $14 an clock hour to be at uti.
