I stumped a professor at the Norwood campus when I went on a tour. He didnt know what a compressor map was, and was trying to convince me I was talking about VE. I wasnt trying to stump him, I genuinely had a question about interpreting the center island on a comp map.
Then he quickly changed the subject to how he built 2000 HP speed boats.
But hey, I got a cool UTI shirt with a DSM on the back!!!

You are better off working at a private shop. You will learn so much more. Most of your private shops have master techs, or Level III tech's, and they will teach you everything. It's just hard to get into a shop not knowing ANYTHING!
My advice to you, go apply at Sears Auto Center, Pep Boys, etc. and see if you like to actually get payed to work on OTHER people's cars. I do not like it as much as I thought I would. But it pays the bills.
What's the point of going and wasting away money, and not even working at a shop, when you don't even know if you will like it.
