For example, the diesel program at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) is excellent as well as the one at a community college in the Peoria, IL area (the name escapes me).

DMACC is where you want to go in this area if you are wanting to work on big trucks. My cousin went there and is now making somewhere around $40/hr with only 5 years experience in the field. But it is a lot of work and you wont have much of a back left if you plan on doing this for years.
A close friend of mine went to Wyotech for the same programs as you are thinking. He hardly partied and did his very best to do good in school. He is living just feet from a river in Colorado where he can go fishing all he wants and has a job at a Ford dealership making really good money. Everytime I talk to him he seems to be getting a promotion within the dealership.
He doesnt regret it one bit except for being so far away from his friends and family back here.
Another friend of mine went to UTI and is working at a local garage back home not doing anything more than he would be doing if he went to a local tech school. Probably his fault for lack of ambition but he is still happy he went there.
