this school is definetely a scam... reps even lie to students about courses they offer to get kids there.. a few years ago the school was legit but its ben commercialized. good luck getting a job. that 98% placement rate is complete bullshit. most students i know here only know one person whos gotten a job. also they offer no job placement like they claim. a large group of students and myself have a lawsuit in the making against the school. my advice is dont bother. job shadow instead

I graduated from MMI in 2005. My first industry job was at an aftermarket shop paying $10/hr. I got an offer 6 months later from a Harley dealer for $12/hr. After 2 months they bumped me up to $13 and then fired me less than year later because I was looking for a job that paid more. Found another job at a dealership starting at $9. They said the most they could pay me $11/hr. I'm still paying for that student loan, but I'm making nearly $20/hr now driving a delivery truck. Go figure.

I'm interested in hearing what you have to say. I was talking to an MMI rep today, and have on and off for about 6 months. I have the forms in my email box and am waiting to send them in. Let me know. I don't want to get dicked again by another shitty school Just attended AIU for 1 1/2 years and that school totally sucked.

Wow, pay 25k to come in the field and me 10/HR. Sounds smart.

@RichSweat1 I graduated from MMI, Phoenix in 2002. I got a couple of low paying jobs at Harley dealers, but not much else.

@dtsf89 As a 2002 graduate, I agree. I would consider joining the lawsuit if it is still active. I also applied to work at another UTI school. I have an advanced degree in Adult Education and also their own certificate from MMI.  After five interviews they just dropped me. I don't mind not getting the job...it's just weird. Maybe because I told one interview group that "not everyone SHOULD get a certificate if it was the wrong career choice.

I graduated in Jan. 1994 and it's STILL hard finding a job. I STARVE every winter and when I do work, the pay usually sucks. They've flooded the job market with rookies that only last a year or 2 if they manage to find a job. I still do it because I LOVE motorcycles... I wish I'd become a chef though. Tired of being hungry and broke. I've got bitchin' bike though.
