Which One?

[Accorduke]

Hey guys I am in high school and I plan on going to Vo-Tech which is like a pre collage school for people who aren't going to go to collage and there where 2 feilds that intrest me most Collusion Body Work and Auto Mechanics which one should I take
Collusion-painting
learn how to shave stuff
fiborglass repair
ect
Auto-install mods
tune up cars
and work on turbos and stuff like that

I can only choose one which one would you take and why?

Honestly Id take them all. Youll learn more, it will look better on your resume, and you will put yourself ahead of the game.

I took a year of classes at a local technical college. I took auto chasis, advance chasis, then since I was a senior and didnt want to put any more effort my last semester I took apprentenship 1 and 2 which was basically advanced chasis more in depth and where I could slack.

IF you go with body work I think youll have to take some chasis classes and electrical, but I dont know if youll have to take any motor classes.
Honestly, its best if you take a little of each to get a feel for what you like to do and what your good at. During breaks from college I work at a body shop. I havnt taken any classes on it but its not that difficult, but Im also better at learning things from someone showing me and letting me do it then reading it in a book though once you start working on cars and then read about different techniques to do things youll just keep getting better.

hope I helped you some with your decision. THe best advice I can give you is with what ever you do, have fun with it.

o so to answer your question as to your saying that you can only choose one, thats bs, learn em all and you can start your self a kick ass tuning shop. Else, Id learn motors cause I dont know that stuff and Ive always wanted to, but you can make a ton of money in autobody repair because people will always be hitting things with there cars no matter what, but people dont always want to turbo charge there geo metro you know. Again, do what you love.

i took auto boyd and collision repair in a vocational school and i wish i took the auto machanics... but im a guy who loves engines... but the auto body was somethign good to know... but i am just saying i found my self wondering over to help work on the engines.. quite often..

[Accorduke]

well there are really no books its all hand on and then you get to do an apprenticship for you 2 year well i will take them both probly but i can only take one while im in high school and its free but i can take the other one after i get out of high school but i will have to pay for it and in body the teach chasis and everything that ties into boy repair ie motor swaps and stuff you just dont learn how to take a motor apart and fix it and put it back together
