once i get out of the military in a couple months ill be looking into the same thing, and ill be in iowa. i did look at UTI, but tuition is a little expensive, and the GI bill is great, but not that great. Ive been looking at DMACC, their autos progam looks pretty sweet, you spend half your time in the classrooms, and half your time at a local dealership as an intern. they have programs for Ford, GM, and Dodge. please dont ask what progam ill be selecting, because it should be painfully obvious.
