hey alex if you want to go into the piping field any pipe specialty school will do. A two yr degree is a well rounded ed.  All though a schooll that does nothing but pipe is a good way to.  One is Two yrs and the other maybe as little as six months.  the advantage to both is that the two yr is well book oriented and well rounded.  The other is a pipe school your out in six months and then your making money.  My suggestion to you in the minniapolis area.  Do a six month pipe school. Then Join the pipefitters union there in minniaplosis as an apperentice.  There they will put u into there schooling and you will be able to make some cash as well. Plus it is very union strong there.
