Default looking for job while going to WyoTech!

I'm planning on going to WyoTech June 30th. I'll be either moving to Laramie Wyoming or Blairsville, Pennsylvania. I'm willing to go to either one.

I need a part time job. I would really like to have an automotive job instead of working at McDonalds or some other crappy job.

If anyone has anything open pleas let me know soon.

I have worked on my own car as well as may of my friends. I know my way around cars very well I plan to make them a very big part of my life once I'm out of school.

I will be attending for a full year.

Laramie isn't a bad town since UW is there, but the rest of Wyoming (forgiving the Yellowstone area) sucks *****. Get used to snow, wind, miles of barren wasteland, and rednecks. I spent the last 9 years of my life in the Rock Springs area before coming here to Phoenix.

as for a job, good luck...it's going to be pretty competitive to get in the auto field there since Laramie is a pretty po-dunk place. and even harder to get into a good place and not a ghetto garage.

laramie isnt a very nice looking town, and there is a lot of competition for that kind of job since wyotech is there. either way, it is an excellent tech college and its worth going there. good luck!

try the laramie machine shop, its right behind pizza hut, kinda down an alley. I know when I was going to the laramie campus a couple years ago they had talked about hiring some part time students. They do good work there. also a few of my friends that i went to school with when we were out there worked at walmart and stuff like that. That will probably be your best bet trying to get a job considering there is a new crop of kids coming in every 3 months. You will love chassis fab. that was my fav. class
