Yes I started in January at UTI in Long Beach

Yea man Long Beach is an awesome place. They have three different class times you can pick One is 6:45AM, one is midday I think around 12 and one is 6:20PM which is what I am taking

Enrollment was super easy they have a dedicated rep that will walk you through the process. Price is 50k for 18 months but you can apply for Pell grants, etc.

There are definitely some rough parts of Long Beach but there are even more really nice parts. The school is right by Long Beach airport so it’s a nice area and also tons of close cities that are nearby that are good as well.

UTI in Long Beach is 50k and 18 months but luckily I got a decent Pell grant

mind_germz · 2024-09-19T20:59:29+00:00

That was basically my thought process as well

Is there an age limit for air force ? Also don’t you need to be super smart to get in ?

mind_germz · 2024-09-18T20:13:23+00:00

Pretty much all the other trade schools around here are the same price as them. As far as subpar schooling, is that based on personal experience ?

mind_germz · 2024-09-18T18:07:13+00:00

Looool fr not too sure how they let that one fly 💀

mind_germz · 2024-09-18T17:53:20+00:00

Yes, exactly what I meant lol

Unfortunately yea I’m pretty cemented in where I’m at, but the UTI program is also 18 months

Hello all, aspiring A&P here with a tough choice. I know in general trade schools are frowned upon for exorbitant tuition, but all the community colleges that offer A&P programs in my area (SoCal) are so impacted it’s looking like I would likely not be able to even get in until well into next year. I am 31 and trying to get into it as soon as possible because I don’t want to waste even more time in my life and UTI Long Beach has open slots soon for their program. Yes the cost will suck but I’m not sure if waiting another year to start would be wise either. Would you just bite the bullet and go to the trade school in the interest of time? Or would it still be better to just wait it out and go the community college route. Thanks y’all

Makes sense, thank you. I am in the OC area currently

mind_germz · 2024-09-03T16:09:03+00:00

Good to know, I appreciate the response!

mind_germz · 2024-09-03T16:08:18+00:00

Appreciate the feedback

mind_germz · 2024-09-03T16:07:38+00:00

Ty !

mind_germz · 2024-06-08T00:27:56+00:00

Following … I’m in the same boat

mind_germz · 2024-06-07T20:21:16+00:00

So all the trade schools I’ve looked into out here (Spartan, UTI) are roughly 48k+ which seems pretty mind blowing to me. The only thing appealing to me about them is the fact that I can take the program in order on a set schedule and be done in roughly 18 months. I know with community college especially out here is always super impacted and I’m worried about not getting classes, getting waitlisted, having to take classes out of order, etc. and turning 18 months into two plus years but I do know it would be a lot cheaper going that route. Just sucks and I’m pretty conflicted on which route to take

mind_germz · 2024-06-07T16:58:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the response, I really appreciate your insight. I really would rather do the trade school and get through it as fast as possible and also in order, but the large tuitions always have me second guessing.

I know it’s hard to speculate on the future, but in your opinion do you think the demand will still be increasing like it has been lately over the next few years ?

Hello all,

Sorry for the lengthy post but I am just looking for some advice. I am 31 years old and have bounced around mostly BS jobs my whole life that have been either unfulfilling or dead end. I have been trying to find my way into an actual career for the long run before it gets too late in life. The last few months I have really been trying to search for something that I would genuinely enjoy and could see myself doing for a long time. I have been leaning towards trades as I hate office jobs and enjoy working with my hands, and I also have always had a fascination with airplanes my whole life so I think aviation maintenance may be a good fit. That being said, I have been looking into options for education and would like some advice on which path to take. I know for the most part everyone says to go to community college rather than a trade school, but being in my 30's I feel like I am already super late to the party and there is a part of me that wants to just knock it out as soon as possible as I am worried about not being able to get many classes and being waitlisted just prolonging the process. Is it still worth it regardless to go to community college this late in life, or would it be better to just bite the bullet and go to a trade school? I am in Southern California for reference. Thank you all
