Son wants to go into Automotive Tech

Looking for some advice from some in the field. I originally started at a Community College for Auto Service Technology in 1988, but changed after 2 years and got a BA. I work in IT for 20 years now.

We have visited UNOH, UTI at Lisle yesterday and have Triton (Community College which has GM and Honda/Acura 2 year associate degrees) and Oakton (Community College that I originally attended before transferring).

He is not sure that he wants to go out of state and plays baseball in HS. UNOH, Triton and Oakton offer baseball. UTI’s tuition is $35,600 for 51 weeks. Out of District tuition for Triton for 2 years will be about $20K. UNOH about $35K for 2 year program plus housing. Oakton about $14K for 2 year associates degree for AST.

Thanks

My son went to UTI... He got out with some book knowledge, but not enough hands-on... Look into better tech schools..
