James Peck]Yes, you would not likely get a job restoring tractors without any experience. Yet Honda is willing to hire people with no experience to maintain automobile manufacturing equipment if they have an Associates degree in Electronics. An ASET is somewhat vocational training. Whether a bicycle training program would get you hired with no experience is pushing it. I wonder what data they have supporting that hiring criteria.<br>
