Small Engine Repair (Lawnmowers)
Two-stroke, four-paw.
Tuition: $2,800 or 24 easy payments of $139.
A grease-forward, hands-on program in residential small-engine maintenance. The majority of coursework focuses on push mowers, with optional units on chainsaws (supervised) and leaf blowers (frowned upon).
Graduates open their own backyard shop, which is usually the same backyard the mower came from.

Program Syllabus
Air, fuel, spark, chaos.
Same, but with more parts and more dignity.
The jets, the float, the bowl, the nightmare.
10W-30. Not 40. Not 20. Definitely not 'whatever I found.'
If it does not start, it is probably the spark plug.
You tell them it will be ready by Friday. It will not be.
