School? What's that? Experience is where it's at... Sniff around, try to find an entry level spot somewhere?

I prefer the school of hard knocks...

EDIT: http://www.rrcc.edu/autotech/

Not sure how many ladies you'd meet in that program, but comb the campus...you'll find some likely candidates.

red rocks is a good school.

PPCC is another good option. http://www.ppcc.edu/app/catalog/current/automotive-collision-technology.htm

My thing is I can't go and take bullshit classes like math and English to go along with the body repair course. I'd just drop out and waste money haha. That's why Lincoln seems like a good option plus the other classes id take are beneficial ie welding, suspension and brakes etc...

Oh shiite, Lincoln.. can't believe I didn't think of that.
Cool idea, how much does that cost I wonder?

I get your drift, but don't consider math or english to be BS curriculum. Physical Education at a University level is a BS class.

Lincoln would be my suggestion. I think it is better to learn things the way they are supposed to be done, then when you start working, they will show you how they do them. You know twice as much that way.

I'm currently spending a little personael time in our metal shop at work (welding, cutting, grinding, bending, etc.). The time there flies by way faster than when I am piloting my desk.

Seems BS and I thought that too when i went to college. But you'll need the math for when you are providing estimates and the english to articulate to a customer and your boss what has been done. Both used for documentation which is very important when you work in/for a business.

People, myself included, get caught up in the 'craft' of something that they forget they're learning a skill so they can earn and income. That income is usually associated w/some sort of business dealings/interchanges, therefore the BS stuff we think we don't need when we're young comes back to bite us in the ### later when we're older.
