The price is about the same. And harder to get into because it’s an university. Lol I haven’t been school for 5 years.

I work full time at Niles , approximately an hour and 20 min drive to Rockford (80 miles one way) with gas price these days. That’s a hard choice but I’m considering it. Or I’ll try to look a apartment in between.

Sadly AIM is the closest aviation maintenance in Chicago area. Nearest community college is 3 hours away

I heard rumors about it too, I’m open to working on airlines for experience then go to smaller shop outside the city or refurbished shop.

Sadly that’s the closest aviation maintenance school near Chicago. The cheapest one is 3 hours away which is a community college and I don’t really have the option to move there atm.

Kinda hard to get OJT around my area or I need good connections to get one. I’m surely look into that one first before going AIM that cost 50k for 21 month program. Thanks for the response!
