so i will be graduating high school this upcoming may...I'm pretty excited yet i am still kind of bummed....this wednesday i am taking a visit up to Lincoln school of Technology to check out the campus and get a first person take on the High Performance Automotive program! I'm very excited. The program consists of engine modification, high performance suspension and exhaust systems, steering, engine building, etc. Basically everything that we love to do to our cars i am most likely going to be doing to all sorts of cars for a living....it really takes alot of stress off of going to college and growing up when you know you can go study and do for the rest of your life something that you really do have an interest in....Lincoln Tech also has a placement assistance program so that when you graduate the school actually helps you find a job! the school also has a really high placement %. so i thought i would share my excitement with you all

it's good to hear you're excited about taking courses for something you like. i'm on the same boat as you right now except i'm taking mechanical engineering and one of the courses i'm taking now is thermodynamics where we learn to mathematically analyse and calculate horsepower, heat transfer, emissions, efficiencies, etc etc of any system on paper. it's extremely difficult, yet stimulating at the same time. kinda makes me want to start tuning/building engines... lol...

Wait a second, you're still in school? As much stuff as you've done to your car and as smart as you are (from what I've picked up in various threads) I kinda had you figured for being late 20's, early 30's. Seems like if anyone has a question about anything, you are right there with an answer so I just kind of assumed you had a LOT of experience with your car and everyone else's car. So now I'm assuming you still have that experience, just in a MUCH shorter time than I thought!

it helps to live at home while in school , that way i save up for the things i want/need and i have access to my dad's garage with all necessary tools. but i still pay for my own courses though. by having available resources like a garage and tools, you will learn a lot from doing your own work. i've been doing mods since i was 15 when i had my beginner's license . i started off with stereo installation, moved on to body work fixing rust, i did a shaved door-handle job on my first car so i learned basic electrical circuits, then after a while you naturally pick things up.. btw, i'm in my early 20s
