Thinking about going to automotive tech school just for the knowledge...worth it?

I'm thinking about getting my 2 year degree to learn about cars and how to fix them.

I've always had interest in cars, but I'm the not the type to really get into fixing them without feeling confident I'm doing it correctly. I've always bought and drove used vehicles and it always stresses me out finding the right one, that i think will last. I spend so much time reaserching and asking mechanics everytime its time to get a new car. I want to go to school to gain the knowledge so I'm not having to call mechanics and ask questions and find people to figure out my car issues. Being female, there's always the worry if being taken advantage of and I don't like it. I have a solid career now that I love and I'm not looking to change my career. I just want to knowledge and understanding and the skills. My hopes is it would save me money in the long run, and be very useful in the long run. I know school isn't cheap but a technical college doesn't seem too bad in price.

Has anyone else done this or thought of doing this? Thoughts??
