<p>Lessgo—I am curious. Did an admissions person at AI tell you that Chip Foose went to AI?</p>
<p>OP How did your meeting with MCC go? I don’t know if you have also checked out Phoenix College (a CC) downtown? I would encourage you not to avoid these schools because you have to take general electives, etc. I don’t see that as a downside at all. Exposure to more areas is mind expanding and may open your eyes to other avenues (or at least met chicks–smile). </p>
<p>I know someone who works in the area you are interested in. It is very competitive, there aren’t a ton of well-paying jobs–most of them are in LA which is very expensive–and, thus, paying off high debt is overwhelming.</p>
