Hi! Second post. I'm about to finish my second year of a Mechanical Engineering diploma in Vancouver, and I might continue 2 more years for the degree.
My questions are for the engineers who work for bike companies, the bike mechanics out there, and anyone with an opinion to give. Once I finish my diploma, if I'm looking for a job with a bike company (as an engineer), would taking a bike mechanic course like the one at BBI (Barnett Bicycle Institute) in Colorado, help me land a job?
Does anyone know if the bike companies are looking for engineers with diplomas, or are the only jobs available to engineers with degrees or higher?
Are there any courses in Canada that are as comprehensive as the ones offered at BBI? I've searched a little, and haven't even found a place that formally teaches how to service forks.
