Nothing is ever out of reach!

You don't become a mechanic for the love of money....Around here, avrage pay is only about $18 bucks an hour. I love workin on my bikes and cars, but I hated when I did it for a living. lol....Anyway, if your family supports ya, and your dream is workin on bikes, DO IT!!

only live once man.

talked to the wife and she is on the fence about having to move but she does want me to do "what is in my blood" as she puts it so im leaning twards going but dont want to push her into making a decision that may cause problems later as many of you may know with woman they say yes to shut you up but mean no and you pay later but please if any one has attended this school let me know was it worth it ect.

Uhhhh yea. Welcome to the real world. Right up there with "what's wrong honey?" Then you get "you should know what's wrong."

But seriously its great to see a guy that actually talks to his family. I was taught to include all family members in big decisions. Yes its ultimately up to you to make the final decision, but getting input from everyone involved is a wise choice. Good luck man.
