"tech" school is a waste of time and money unless you're in the chassis design and fab program. All the stuff they teach can be learned in community college auto classes, for a fraction of the cost, or just by getting a entry level job at a good shop and apprenticing under some good mechanics. The downside is, most hands-on mechanics top out at $50-60k a year. Yes there are exceptions, but it's a pretty Limited ceiling. Now, if you go to real college and get a degree as an engineer or something, your STARTING pay will be closer to $60-70k a year, and you can still be in your garage in your free time.
