It combines the hands-on aspect of a mechanic, with the testing and problem solving aspect of an engineer, without the high level math. Plus you wont be far from home.

I wouldn't recommend that route. When i interviewed at Toro a few weeks ago they were very interested in the fact that i had a mechanical engineering degree because it was needed for the position i was applying for. Then they went a step further and said all of their technicians, the guys who work under the engineers, were graduates from the mankato automotive engineering program. It is a 4 yr degree, but Toro considers it a 4 yr tech degree and not an engineering one.
Just a heads up advice straight from a large company.
Also, whats the point of having the automotive 4yr around here? If you move to Detroit i guess i would understand it, but not here.
