I can’t agree more that to set yourself apart you need to have a higher education. There are several choices on what type of school you are looking for. If you have the grades and want it an Associates or Bachelors degree would take you the furthest. I would look at Purdue West Lafayette or IUPUI in Indy. Purdue WL has the School of Technology and to me the best major for “gear heads” in Mechanic Engineering Technology, the folks at Purdue have several active student run clubs that are involved in motorsports. Plus a new MAP (motorsports at Purdue) program that will join all the on campus clubs and carry a large industry presents.
IUPUI has motorsports classes and a Motorsports degree (same classes at PU WL Mechanic Engineering Technology just different names)
Both places have put out some outstanding engineers that work around all areas of any type of racing.
A few folks I know of that are currently or just finished with the programs:
Adam Nigg
Stephanie Mockler
Arin McIntosh
Scott Hampton
