    I am going to go to college for 2 years but i am not sure what i want to take. Right now I am thinking about HVAC or pipefitting at Dunwoody. If you think you have any other good ideas just let me know. Also if you could say alittle about it too that would be great.


    Thanks for your help

    If you're just looking at technician jobs, then Dunwoody would be a good place to go. But if you don't mind considering another major, you could try Business Admin. I hear the good ones make a lot of dough.

    i went to HTC, and i went to dunwoody....in comparison with eachother, HTC costs about 1/8th as much as dunwoody and has at least twice as nice of equipment, and twice as large!..not to mention better instructors, im a firm believer that what you pay for is the dunwoody name, not neccerly the education

    My advice is find something you're really interested in and do that. Don't worry about the money that'll follow if you really enjoy your work.

    No wonder I'm poor! :D

    Welders and machinists do good for themselves. Don't be a powerline worker. My cousin is on call every Christmas!
