Well, uuuhhh, I may get a little flamed by this...
If i do well enough at my technical school, (3.0 min - 3.5 perferred) with a 97% attendance, Jaguar will pay for ALL my stuff - plus give me $1000 for snap-on tools! (BTW - I'm going to Universal Technical Insitute - 30 mi west of chichago. It's an 18 month program.) A nother cool thing is that if/when they do take me, I get to go to Florida for 20 weeks - FULLY PAID! It's awsome to do something you really like!!
::Edit::
The school wants their money up-front, so I applied for FAFS - or how ever you spell that - and they picked up the tab totaly. Yea, yea, I know that is only a loan, but I don't have to start paying anything till Mar 04'!
