MMI is all about what "you" as the student get out of it. I do intend to go back when I can get the financials worked out again. Havign said that, I know plenty of students who finished the program, and came away disappointed greatly in what they learned, but having spoken to them, I got the impression that they just skated their way through and didn't really put as much stock in what they were learning. On the flip side, I know a young lady that graduated the program, and does all her own wrenching on her bike, which was her whole purpose in taking the course...I would trust her more then alot of the aforementioned students when it comes to wrenching on MY bike. She went in to learn, not get a piece of paper. Did that make sense or am I just rambling aimlessly? | ||

Wycked -- the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive ;-} your observations are applicable to any educational experience, which, if you're lucky and awake, is most every experience -- good post | ||

I want to take it for myself and gain the knowlrdgr as well but what about the career oppurtunities.How much would i be looking at making as well? | ||

That is a very broad spectrum. It is such a demographic deal that you can't just say "oh you will make this much when you get out" I beleive the basic average is roughly $12.50 an hour to start and up, based on people I know all over the country who work in shops both in sales and as wrenches. The wrenches however, run a 50/50 split on who ALSO make commission off the parts and a percent of the labor along with their hourly. |
