This man speaks of the truth. I got accepted to McPherson University in Kansas for their Automotive Restoration major. I went out there, met the teachers, hung out with some of the students, toured the shop, and worked on the one teachers Mustang with him while I was there. It was an absolutely AMAZING place. I thought I was in heaven and I was going to go there. But, being in Kansas...yeah I wasnt too sure about that. It was a real great town, I would be going through with a Minor in business and then my major would have been auto restoration (it was a 4 year school). I talked to a guy who went through the school at a restaurant about 60 miles from the school (yeah its the next town over) and he said it was the best 4 years of his life, but couldnt deal with working on cars all the time. He started another business that has nothing to do with the automotive industry. Not to mention he was rolling in a 70 SS 454 Chevelle that night, but he was a real cool guy, real down to earth. He told me to think about it long and hard before making a decision, especially since I was going to be moving there from New Jersey. Im glad I didnt go there...even though I was #2 of 13 people accepted into that program.
