It's completely disorganized, the rules are enforced like it's the military, the instructors are all looney space-cases, and if you have a problem with something, they don't give a shit and it pretty much goes unsolved. I actually almost said fuck it and dropped out because of the shit I went through in ASM, but hey, I got a 2-year Associate's Degree in 3 months, so... yay? 
They do say that a lot of the companies that come to the WyoTech campuses prefer that you have the ASM class under your belt, and some aren't even hiring if you haven't taken it.
A LOT of companies require you practically be an honor student with perfect attendance just to get an interview. |
Like most non tech degrees, it's more about having that piece of paper, rather then the knowledge. Just having it is a step ahead of the rest. The only reason I'd suggest it to most kids is it's the easiest/quickest way for them to get a 2 year AA diploma. For three months of work, you have a 2 year degree, sounds like a deal to me. I'd actually say, don't you dare not do this, it would be stupid not to.
Perfect attendance is key to getting hired, and a GPA above 95% will get you better starting pay(at dealerships).
