tech colleges

Are there any good tech schools that you work alone in the shop? Or do they all have you team up with other students. Thanks.

Where I work, we only work on cummins, and when you start out regardless of experience, you work along side another person. At first you would think it would be a drag, and it is if you have an attitude, or are hardpressed to do things your own way. I actually like it a lot, and it really does help you out when you start, not only from a learning standpoint, tools are great when you can share them If you are looking to get into this field, I would pay good attention to the oppertunities for advancement, conditions of work, products that you will be servicing, shop equipment, and realize that you will be getting real filthy every day If you can work on the big stuff, go for it... . stay away from buses, car carriers, boats, and dodge rams..... What??? Just kidding! :-laf

Good luck guys,

Ha ha ha, can't do that where I work, but we do see dodges with banks kits a lot, and one ran on the dyno at about 272rwhp Makes me trust banks after seeing that

Anybody know of a good school in Dallas/Ft worth? I have a pretty easy work schedule for fall/winter, might be fun to learn something new just for grins.

TSTI is the best in the state, but I think it is in Waco. Maybe they have a DFW campus.
