Any mechanics?

[bigmac13579]

So I'm moving to Tehachapi next month am fixing to be a senior in high school. I would like to be a diesel technician when I graduate college and would like to see if there is a shop that would be willing to hire a young gun like me? I'm pretty knowledgable in the diesel field as I've been around them all my life.

You considered going to a diesel mechanic trade school? I know it can be costly, but it'll give you the clout to get your foot in the door with some verifiable skills so you don't spend your first couple years doing oil changes and tire rotations. What you spend on school you will make up in the difference in pay in a few short years and you'll be that much farther ahead of the game.

Up here there's Wyotech and UTI which both have very good diesel programs, not sure what you guys have down south.

I've been looking at both of those schools but people have said they aren't worth the money. I'm not sure but thanks!

i know this is old but if anyone stumbles upon this ill give a thumbs up to Wyotech. im in laramie were they're from and really impressed with their facility up here and the education they get. not sure on the long beach one but im going to spend some time at the one up here after i get my 4 year. not to mention the guys here do a lot of work for people so they darn near get paid to go to school depending on how many hours they put in
