Go to a real diesel shops and ask if they need any help. It's better to do that than spend 20 grand on an education and then work as an oil change jockey.
ThunderbirdJunkie's shops he's worked for hired UTI/Wyotech/other automotive course grads as tire techs and lube techs.
very true, i have almost 4years of auto education and still work as a oil tech and bearly a apprentice. check to see what diesle mechanics are looking for, eductation, expiriance, both or none, then decide if you need it. some dealers will give you free training.
also UTI is crappy, working on a half a car just never happens in the real world
