Technical aircraft schools????

I am 19 years old. After I graduated hi-school, I went to work
full-time as a technician at a GM dealership. I never went to college
or anything like that, but I did complete a 2-year course during

Joe, you simply need to get back to school. Go to college and finish
it. Without a college degree, the whole world will always consider you
to be a grunt, a flunky, and unless you win the lottery or become a
famous musician or something like that, you will never be taken very
seriously in life... ever.

At 19, you still have your entire life ahead of you. As a 40-something
year old geezer, trust me, the few years it'll take to get college out
of the way may seem like an eternity and a waste of time from your
perspective right now, but it's not. This time will fly by faster than
you'd ever think it could. I put off finishing my college degree until
I was in my late 20's, and it harmed my career to wait that long. If
you cannot afford college right now, you might seriously consider
joining a branch of the military. I'd suggest the Navy or Air Force
right now. Your chances of getting shot at are much less. I have a
20-something year old cousin who absolutely couldn't stomach the
thought of joining the military, but she came from a dirt-poor, broken
family with little options left, so she joined the Air Force. She
already had one little child and was pregnant with another. The Air
Force still accepted her anyway. She's in England right now and she's
an airplane mechanic on heavy iron. Just got promoted to Tech Sgt, and
she intends to re-enlist one more round then get out and use her
education benefits to get her civilian A&P and ultimately an IA too.
Looking back on my life now, instead of wasting all those years
fiddle-farting around working part time and going to college part time
in my 20's, I now wished that I would have taken the Navy up on the
lucrative deal they offered me while I was 19 and a freshman in
college. The miliraty service would have only been a temporary,
passing thing, and I would be sitting in a much better financial, and
personal prestige, position right now.
