im very intrested in getting into this feild, and i got word from a buddy working that there was a good school in longbeach, ca but the number keeps changing and seems kinda "fake" so i looked on the internet at a bunch of schools and it looks like d.i.t. might be my best choice. is this smart? should i even bother with school? im a lil skeptical because i went to a tech school years ago for achitectual engineering that got me nowhere. any advise would help out tremedously. thank you
