I too came from L/TECH took the auto program but started working in the diesel field for the airlines while in school. Diesel tech jobs are stable, pay is good and you don't bounce around like auto mechanics. As for working on diesel it's easy, think out side of the box when looking for a job, big trucking companies (fedex, ups) steady pay check no book time. Airlines (travel benefits), Locomotive great pay good pension. I keep my skills up to date with the auto and diesel, as they say it's all nuts and bolts.

Hope this helps, pay attention in class if it's anything like it was back in the day keep away from the ones that cause distractions your spending some money to get the education but in the long run it will pay off believe me.

Need any advice drop a line...

I work for a Newholland dealership, and I have to go to school 2 weeks a year like it or not, but at least I get payed for it, it's a good place to start, but he'll start at the bottom, which means the really crummy job's at first, also Cat, John Dear,and some of the other big players have the same programs, and the dealership's always need some one to do the dirty work, gotta start somewhere.

After Driving and repairing mine for 20 years, Timing is every thing.

Good luck.
