Luckily, I didn't go to school for it!

THis is the main reason I got out of the DSM game a couple of years ago and bought my current car. It seemed that I was working on it/upgrading it more than I was driving it. I liked learning in the beginning but ~10 dsms later, got tired of it.
I want to go out and be able to enjoy my car, not have to work on it.
Back on topic, my friend went to UTI for diesel mechanics, got the diploma, and said fuck it. He is now going to Normandale.
I considered the auto industry but decided that when I get 50 years old, I didn't want to have to go out and crawl under cars. Body wouldn't like it.
I would go diesel as you would be more "specialized." You won't be working with people who are in high school and should make more money. You could probably be an auto mechanic aswell with the training you learn.
