Re: which college to choose
Out of high school I couldn't tell you what a resistor was. I went to school for electronics basically, and next thing you know i was working on million dollar radars, eventually got me working on Nuclear Fuel Handling Equipment, and now I'm an engineer designing the controls for them.
That's what schools for, it's OK if you don't know anything about it yet. They teach you enough so you can get out in the industry and start doing it, and you'll just keep learning the more hands on you get.
Do what you want, but automotive seems like a pretty saturated field with limited opportunity unless you want to do something like open your own shop. Which at that point, mechanic schooling will become less important than say business schooling.
I personally really like Dunwoody. You can get a 2yr tech degree. Then eventually if you want a 4yr degree, you can get one is say "applied business management" which is just another 2yrs stacked on top of the 2yr you already have. It's a private school though so it's $$$$.
