did you feel you learned enough about car audio to be worth it?

honestly, if you cant learn enough about car audio on the internet of your own accord, by research and by hands on trial and error, then "car audio school" most likely will not help.

Im sure you can get an equal education from self-teaching yourself as opposed going to a prestigous university, but thats practically worthless on your resume.

My point being, althuogh that site is fabulous, wouldn't install employers look for some solid degree and proof of education, like completing an install program, rather than you simply saying you visited some website?

Good site there, and I agree on learning process from the internet. My buddy told me Circuit City, Best Buys, and privately owned CA shops hire people w/o cerfication or experience for that matter. They'll pay you less, but you'll get the job.

No you dont. When I ran a Best Buy mobile department for a few years half my guys didn't have their MECP. BBY pays an additional 25 cents or so for a MECP cert.
