The situation for trade and and mechanic schools in Kentucky is much different than in most states around the nation. Although there are many different schools all across the state, they are all intertwined within the Kentucky Community and Technical College System which acts as a connection between all the schools. This helps students if they need to move midway through their schooling, they will be able to transfer much easier than if they had to go to a whole new college system. Along with that, it is a good way to get training in multiple different areas as if you finish a degree you can transfer to another school and get another degree that you desire.
Kentucky is a pretty good state to work as an auto mechanic as they provide a good average salary, on par with the national average, and is a little higher than the surrounding states. Along with that, job security is pretty good as the industry is expected to grow at a faster rate in the state than the national average suggests which is beneficial to new entrants into the job field or to current auto mechanics who are just looking for a change. Lastly, Kentucky is just a great state to be in if you love good food, beverages, and the outdoors. Especially horse related outdoors as Kentucky is home to the famous Kentucky Derby.
