Minnesota state se tech? Where is that Winona?
Definitely take the instrument repair classes to beef up your resume.
The market is real tight. Just try floating your resume around to gibby, fender ect.. If you can't get hired to by a builder. You will have to work as a sales clerk/guitar tech at Schmitt Music, or get a small business loan and start up your own shop.
The guitar techs in Duluth suck!
