the famous wyotech here goes, the full store. If you go to learn its great but ther not just going to teach you you have to show them that you really want it. ther are 30 students in every class and 2 teachers. The teachers are so used to having kids that really don't care that much or ther just so stupid its not worth the time to try to teach them But the 7 or 8 kids they grasp on to have so much to learn. just tell your kid that he has to realy want to do this for a living, it's not all fun and games, and actualy alot of it down right sucks. I had alot of fun at wyotech, the best 15 months of my life for a hard to shoulder $30,000 its not time to play around with. Ther are alot of distractions in laramie wyoming witch is the campus i went to because it was the only one in 2001 and it was still called wyoming technical institute, now i guess ther are hundredes with the new airplane schools.If your kid gives into peer presure, laramie is the worsts place to send him. Car guys are some of the nicest people you will every meet but ther are also alot of them that are just plan evil. when i was ther drug use was just out of control i mean it semed that every one in class but the luckey 7 or 8 were stoned or hungover. Don't get me wrong i know how to have a good time and can party with the best of them but ther is a time and a place and the classroom is not the place, ecspecialy since the class is a shop. A shop that has every thing you could posible ever need, its like a dream when you first get ther, the shop and all the projects would blow away most seasoned vets. Every thing was state of the art but they still have time to teach the good old stuff like leading, choping tops, sectioning bodies, suicide doors, frenching you can do anything you want after you get all the needed cridits. After learning all the basics, witch not all people every finish, youare left with about 3 weeks to work on your own project, i hade a 1950 gmc long bed and in 3 weeks i was able , with 1 other guys, chop my top suicide the doors box the frame, step notch the rear and make a custome ifs, the only thing i did not make on the ifs was the mustang 2 balljoints and sleeves, and finaly i set it up for air bags. To give you an idea of how good whytech can be, before i went i had never even touched a welder before or ever done any fabrication and the only paint i every sprayed was rattle bomb. 2 weeks before i graduated rod shops were calling me, and know i work in one of the best shops in texas, and have got to meet hotrod and custom legends, its a dream come true.
So if you stay focused and can make it through all the crap your dreams can come true. Like the comercials say wyotech changed me and my life.
