My plans
-
Well, After selling the civic, I have a little bit of money left over. I decided trying to get a random project car running in 2 months would not only be a huge disaster but a lot of money spent that wouldn't need to be. After talking to Chuck and my parents, I have decided to save the money and attend mobile dynamics in Phoenix. I will be signing up for the october-november session within the next week.

I will be taking EVERY class they have to offer. After that I plan to see what kind of jobs I am offered. I would like to stay in the fargo area but I don't know about the market here...
I feel I made the right decision compared to keeping my car and not going to school. -
Mobile dynamics looks like a sweet school. I checked them out last year. Good Luck Joel

Congrats on a good choice Joel. Given your passion about cars/car audio, I think this is an excellent move for you. As for staying local, I think you can do it, just realize that until you've established yourself as competent, you will be starting at the bottom of the totem pole with most shops. However, since you will have the training necessary to succeed you should move up in position and pay at a decent rate once you get good at it and prove yourself.
Oh...and don't forget to ask a LOT of questions. They cover quite a bit and its easy to get buried if you don't understand something...this isn't highschool, this is your future, you will want to understand everything they teach as it will make school and your career so much easier.

Oh...and why Phoenix? Go to Toronto! (You're legal to drink up there)

wait...nm, Ontario has an age 19 restriction, not 18 like Manitoba

(You're legal to drink up there)Two of my cousins went to mobile dynamics, one a few years back and the other is there now, they both loved it, plus when there big sister pays for every thing that helps too. I really wanted to go also but I've got to many bills to pay as it is right now.
I was gonna say toronto also because it's closer, but unless you really like the metric system, phoenix is the place to go. No standard to metric conversions to do then metric to standard again when you come back.Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

wouldn't matter, he'd have to be 19 to drink in Ontario

While in Tempe, might as well go visit the Rockford Fosgate facility.
