somewhat disagree..

with the shops doing a **** load of work you want someone who has experience already, not someone you have to babysit or constantly spend your time looking over their shoulder..MD gives people the basics that a busy shop requires, the ability to wire systems/alarms-starters etc etc..glass would be a bonus as the custom business will again be taking off as spring approaches
atm we have 5 cars lined up for full custom work, as well as 3 dealerships we have to supply..
someone who could sweep the floors would be a waste of time if we were looking for someone, that's what the co-op kids are there for when they aren't helping out and learning something

I took a tour of mobile dynamics yesterday. The facility looks pretty good. After that I went to a local audio shop. One of the installer told me mobile dynamics is a waste of time and money. The teachers does most of the work for the students at night. They cut all the woods at night, so the students just sand the wood or whatever and put it in the car the next day. He never went to mobile dynamics, when he started he just hanging around a local audio shop and learn by hands-on experience and after 6 months he was hired as an installer without MECP.

So I think I am gonna wait and see if I can find a local shop that will take me for apprenticeship.

Got three job offers after attending M/D with no previous experience. 1st alarm took me 8 hours. After 3 months, it was down to 4 hours with no complaints on the alarms. Got 6g's back and more.
