Wyotech or other tech schools??

Depending on where you go to school will give you more options.

I worked in an engineering test lab for 30+ years testing exhaust parts, shocks and struts. We regularly had engineering coop students working there. And this was not just during the summer. Some schools, like Kettering Univ. have students go to school three months, then work somewhere for three months and keep rotating back and forth.

You can learn a lot more that way. Plus, depending what job opportunity you get for that three months you might be able to start developing skills like welding, machining, sheet metal, electrical and more.

If you can handle it the engineering degree is worth pursuing. The son of a good friend that graduated with his mechanical engineering degree two years ago had a job lined up with Roush enterprises for 64K a year before he was even out of school.
