Fake Jeff tells me that this school has some real athletes who couldn't qualify academically at an NCAA school. He says don't take the Racers lightly or they'll run over you.
Joking aside, it is pretty cool that they have a Motorsports coach listed in their staff directory.
Agree. I know you're not making fun of folks who seek careers in applied technology, but others might misunderstand the value of the motorsports/diesel/auto tech studies.
My cousin earned a dual diesel/ASE two-year technical degree at this institution around 1980. He's had a great career in automotive technology and for several years owned his own gas station/repair shop until the franchise model changed. He's smart and hard working.
One of my high school classmates -- a collision tech career guy -- has a son there now on a 100% academic scholarship doing the same thing my cousin did.
We have a nephew who earned a two-year degree in automotive technology at an institution near Cleveland and he had no trouble finding good work during the last recession. He continues to advance in his career
There's definitely a market for motorsports and other technology-based advanced technical learning. These kinds of programs are especially good for those who have a blend of logical/mathematical and kinetic intelligence.
