Just because you're "only" getting an AA,...don't short change the benefits that can be had.

Tom Fujita is well known for his cylinder head work. And he went to El Camino Community College in Torrance. (I, too, went to El Camino).



Never shortchange the experience that you can get from any opportunity. Tom Fujita doesn't have a BA/BS degree in engineering,...but he has done quite well for himself.



I've met him. Nice guy. Knows his "craft".



You should looks into other ways of advancing in your career path. Such as joining the SAE (you don't need a BS or BA to join). Stuff like that. www.sae.org



Don't think that just because you get "only" an AA, you'll be working at a car dealership as a mechanic.



A college degree will not guarantee you an immediate job. It may "help" a bit more, but...there is NEVER a guarantee.





Here is an EXCELLENT technical school to attend.

Graduates go to work for OEMs. A friend of mine, who graduated from here, now works for Turbonetics.



Here is info regarding the ASE that you mentioned:
