Check out pennfoster.edu they have an online automotive career diploma. They give you the information you are looking for. They also give you personal emails to help you look for a job. I went through it and completed it in 16 months and still was able to work. Here is a link to all the automotive things they have:

here is a link to occupational handbook

These are all in regard to automotive mechanics

I'm almost done at UTI.  It's my last course (or phase, as they call it).  UTI is a great school with a lot of information.  It'll help you if you want to keep working on cars because not only do you get a lot of hands on work done, but you also get to learn the theory behind how these components work to better diagnose them and integrate them together with the entire car.  If you're honestly there to learn (which is probably only 10% of the students there), there's a lot of information to learn.  Just don't hang out with the wrong people and what not.  With the core program, you'll learn everything on a car from bumper to bumper.  The Exton campus might try to push you to take the Ford F.A.C.T. program, but I don't suggest it if you're just going to work at a private shop.  It's only good for the electrical knowledge and if you're going to try to take a dealership's program offered at the school (it also costs another $5k). Those programs are great if you want free training to work at a dealership, but there are drawbacks to that.  Something about having to work at a dealership with at least a 2 year contract I think...  And you don't get to choose the dealership.  And if you want to apply for the dealership programs, you need a 4.0GPA.  It's not hard at all to get that. You need to be an idiot to fail any of those classes.  I don't know what else to say.  UTI is a great school if you really want to work on cars.  You get lots of hands on work done there too.  They have clip cars that you get to work on; they'll be bugged and you get to diagnose them, etc etc.  Just PM me if you want more information.

Are you tied down to your current location?  There's quite a few openings in that field.

Computer engineering opens your options to a lot of different fields.  I'm an electrical engineer, so I work with a number of computer engineers.  I also started college as a computer engineer but switched to electrical.  Both programs are very similar, you take a lot of the same classes as a EE.

If you ever have any questions, let me know.

i went for computer engeneering at penn state but couldnt handle high level math and physics so i went for help desk and tech support at local college. now wnat to change tht couse most im gona make is like 20/hr. f that. not enough to feed the family

[stirfriedferret]

Be a good tech for a couple years after graduating from UTI and you can make 20/hr. Flat rate. At least.  Flat rate is awesome, especially if you're quick at doing work and know short cuts
