just enrolled to lincoln tech
 

and i have to say, they have some pretty sweet **** there, only thing is, its setting me back $22,000, and i start in the middle of july, but i guess it will pay off in the future, anyone else attend school there? needless to say, im pretty excited

Good luck with it man, cause I know that there are plenty of kids that go there that arent worth a ****. I used to hire people out of LT, and trying to find someone that knows wtf they are doing out of that group is tough.

i know what im doing already, but i lack a certification, so im going to get that in order to better my chances of getting a good job

Good for you. The world needs more good techs.

Good luck, we always could use some good techs around here.

22 grand and theres no dorms :confused: hell for that money i'd wrather to go to a regular school, well good luck with it :)

why dorm when i can drive there in 10 mins? plus a regular school is like 50-60 grand, f that

LOL wat regular school is that? i went to BCC for 1500 a semester and i just transfered to ramapo n thatll be like 4000 a semester without dorms

Best O' luck to ya! :)

Best of luck.

Platinum WS6 goes there.... aka Paul... aka loves men

Uh, that's not his name here ;)

Congrats, hope you like it!

is that 22 grand for the 4 years or just for a year?? :confused:

yeah wrong name *******. i love that school, just need to get rid of some of the thug life worthless kids.

probably 1 year. no way in hell is it 4 years. I paid 24K for my one year at Wyotech.

i went to the one in mawaha. i thought sucked, but maybe you will have a different opion. i could think of alot better things to spend $20 grand on.

its $22 grand for 15 months.

Yea here is a little tidbit for you. LT isn't state certified to be a school. So basically it is a business. In the beginning it was certified by the state of NJ to be a tech school but over the years as things changed and the board of education put tougher and tougher regulations for schools, Lt didnt come to meet these regualtions and i beleive it was sold to a private. Then after that the tuition become higher and higher because it is a business. If you want a real education, talk to one of the major car companies and ask to go to thier school where they actually teach you things. Most of the instructors that teach there really arent mechanics at all but teachers who were taught by the school to teach that particular cirriculum. Most of them dont even have on the job experience in the field to answer your questions. To me it is really a waste of money. I went to Wyo tech in 2000 and i tell you it was the worst teachings ever. Basically if you have common sense, you knew everything that they are going to teach you. From personal experience, all it is, is basically them telling what each part is and the name of it. nothing more. They dont teach you how diagnose, or to fix anything either. hence is why i am problems with my car :) Like i said before it was just a course to name and tell what things do. Everything else is guess work. you get a better education working in a garage for one year then actually going to any tech school. If i knew what i know now I would have saved 19k for Wyo Tech and just got working in a garage. Plus to work anywhere now you need to ASE cerified and these school teach you nothing about the test. I personally failed my ASE ceritfied test right after i completed Wyo Tech. i was thinking that I got a good education and i would say I only got about 10 percent of the question right on the test.

Since this thread is up, if anyone is over the age of 18, has a valid driver license, and wants to work in the automotive service field, please PM me with any questions regarding a job. This is for both sales and service.

well, i can only hope for the best now, if its ******, im screwed, i guess i just kinda wanted to get my foot in the door, and hoped a tech school would look good for me

its only ****** if you make it that way, i think its a great learning experience and the mahwah campus is definitly good.

im going to union, already a lot of black people with hondas tat have a 24 inch trash can exhaust, i fear my car is boing to be stolen by the time i graduate

WTF??? I'm black! You think I'm going to steal your car????

































:j/k:

okay let me re-word that, im talking about homie G's not the nice well mannered black people, im talking about the ones that will cut you down in a second, spit on you, laugh and keep walking, see what im saying?

oh yeah, its only 12 months for me

yeah i feel everyday my car is gonna get robbed.
