Would that be me? I go to Pittsburg State University (Pittsburg, KS that is). They've got a phenominal auto tech program. I'm 1/2 way through a 4 year degree and they say their placement rate is 98% with an average 1st-year-out salary of $36K/year. all of the graduating seniors last year had jobs before they were out so I'd believe it. They've also got a 2 year service technician program. The 4 year program is for service manager/field representative but you still get all of the service tech training...you just don't buy your own tools, you get some business classes, and you rarely wrench on cars as a part of your job once you're out. I've been to "Wyotech" (before I started college) and when I say that and compared it to Pitt State it was like community college vs. Harvard...no comparison. Plus Pitt was much closer to to KC. Plus it doesn't hurt that they've got an in-house chassis dyno we can use on weekends
