College Advice


So in August of 2013, my contract expires for the USAF. Im debating on wether to stay in or get out and go to college(leaning more towards college.)

I am almost certain that im going to do one of the automotive schools. Before I enlisted, I almost went to Lincoln Tech in INDY. Im a mechanic on the A-10, C-130, and HH-60 helicopters. I alwats do my own things with my car and always have.

I am NOT good with school and I like doing everything with my hands. Is one of these automotive schools worth going to anf getting my degree with or will it basically lead to nowhere and a dead end job?

Something you can always look into is switching to a reserve component, and doing school as well with the GI bill?

4 year or tech? whats your goals coming out?

I would say get all the education you can with the AF paying for it.

Automotive is what id love to do. Like Lincoln Tech, UTI, etc.

Im just wondering what kind of jobs these schools will lead to or if id be just a floor sweeper with one of these degrees they offer in automotive.

I went lincoln tech here in Texas. First class sucks. After the first intro class it's 60/40 hands on and a lot of fun. Learn a lot too.

My advice would be go to a trade school and stick it out. Don't drop out like I did. I regret it everyday.
