Automotive major?

Re: Automotive major?
I've kinda been eye-balling New England Institute of Technology. They have associates and bachelors in auto technology. They have mechanical Eng Tech, Information Technology, and Computer Networking majors also, which are all paths I've considered/currently working on.
Their automotive facility looks pretty nice:

I recieved my ba in ME 3yrs ago, (in NY), Calc 3 is the highest calc class offered, unless your at a trimester school, where theres 4 calcs. Of course that doesn't include diff eq or matrices and boundary val eqs. then theres linear algebra, blah blah blah, just glad i'm done....

Re: Automotive major?
I have a dumb question for you... How does your grade works in US?
Here it's:
- 6 years elementary school
- 5 years secondary school
- 2 years cegep (pre-university) or 3 years (technician)
- 4 years in engineering (3 otherwise) bac.
- 2 years "maitrise" I searched, but didn't find the translation
- 3 years doctoral
I just want to understand when I read posts that people talk about school...
Btw, I did all those math and it sucks!

Re: Automotive major?
I have been an automotive tech for 5 years, (partially managing a quick lube shop and now i'm a general line tech at a gm dealer) and im also a second year college student, engineering major, probably going with structural engineering. Honestly man from my experience being a tech sucks ***, i started because i loved working on cars, and i still do but at work its completely different, your not doing anything cool most of it is bullshit and when you only flag like 10 hours on a winter week it sucks *****, shops and techs are negative people and the industry sucks although if your a good heavy line or drivability tech (like 10 years experienced) you can make good money, but i will be so happy the day i finish school and never have to turn a wrench for a living again.....my 02 on it....

I have a Automotive Technology AAS Degree and now I'm in Mechanical Engineering Technology at the University of Cincinnati. I enjoyed the Automotive degree I learned quite a bit but I wanted more so I continued on with the MET. Go to school just its easier to get a job. Right now I co-op for Dana Corporation in Toledo rebuilding and testing alxes and driveshafts its quite a blast and pays pretty good. Best of luck.

Re: Automotive major?
^^^^ Yes.
I really don't care about pay. As long as I can pay for my housing (at least a mortgage once I graduate) and bills, and have a few bucks left over for myself and a car or two, I'm happy. Of course, more is better but I'm not trying to be a millionaire.
