Hey guys I need some help

You may not like my opinionated answer but here goes... Forget auto mechanics especially the performance genre for anything more than temporary employment and hobby. Every form of auto racing is dying. Sad but true.
Manual and CNC machining is the way to go. A good well rounded machinist can make engine parts, turbine parts, any parts.
I found it to be a very comfortable blend of technical use you brain, wrench turning mechanical aptitude, great pay, challenging/rewarding, less hand washing.
High demand field world wide too.
I did just enough grinding to find its more an art than a trained skill.
I mentioned that because I expect that's what SAM is attempting to teach. They can teach the basics of grinding but a great knowledge of grinding can only come from a lifetime of experience.
