I also expected to see a lot more people with trade school/tech school, especially considering the amount of people who are mechanics on the forum. When it comes to professional mechanics, most of them have some kind of trade school or tech school these days.
For the record, I'm workin on the MBA currently (albeit slowly...lol)

Got the BA and no money and no debts. I chose my Runner 'cause it's tough, refined, and crazy reliable. Want a newer one or a Lexus when I get rich.

I think we may be a more educated bunch than DocMT thought. Shame there was nothing for Bachelors + professional designation - some professional exams are a heck of a lot tougher than a Bachelors (or they were when I did mine).

Two things:
1. Money usually is the driver of automobile purchase and sometimes education does not equal money. You would be suprised how many business owners have really nice vehicles and a high school education.

2. I came out of college after 4 1/2 years as an engineer. Before that though I was a bodyman for several years and during college I tinted windows and striped cars for extra cash. Yes I have a college education but I can still wrench pretty good. There are some mods on here I would not tackle though. Some of these guys are good.

High school graduate. Feeling fine, I love what I do! Maybe down the line I'll specialize for personal growth.
