Need some advice. Please help!

I do have a car but don't know much of it. So, I planned to go back to school and study Automotive. Do you have any thoughts?

I believe you are in the wrong forum, mate. This part of the forum is for building scale models of cars. What forum would you like me to move this thread to so you can get some appropriate advice?

Cheers.

Re: Need some advice. Please help!

Isn't it part of Automotive? Is there any school that offers building scale models of cars?

None that I am aware of. Are you a native English speaker?

Yeah! But I'm not that good with cars. I got 15 credits of my college and never graduated. And I'm looking forward to go back to school.

Like they said, this is the wrong forum for this. If you want to study to be an auto mechanic there are a number of technical schools such as United Technical Institute. If you want to study automotive engineering or design at a university, then I would start by searching on Google.

Re: Need some advice. Please help!

We should all pool together and somehow teach everyone how to build models! Oh wait...there's a thread about that, kind of..But to get paid for it!!!

If you think you're not good at working on cars, do you really want to go to a school and learn how? Or are you looking for more of an artistic design element, of working on cars? Like going to an art school, specifically? Or more mechanically?

I went to school for automotive-autobody, but went to work for an autoglass place, right from there. As I've heard, the local county technical schools would have been cheaper, and probably better than where I went. I am trying to get out of this line of work.

There are many jobs, ofter for car repair. But be ready to deal with irate, unappreciative customers, always trying to scam or cheapen their bill. Or completely opposite naive lol. Good luck in whatever you choose!
