The Upcoming Holiday Season

[foxx278]

My work schedule is full next week for the first time in two and a half month. Finally, a full 40-hr. week. That's good news. Some not so good news is they're taking away our weekends for the upcoming holiday, which irritates me to some extent because I usually need at least one good weekend off to unwind. But at least I'll have a little more

Actually, going to ITT is THE WORST thing you could do to your future. First of all, they don't train you to get ahead and to think creatively, they rut you with technology that's so old it can never be used, they embitter you to your field, and nobody recognizes a degree from them as something to get you a good salary cap. I've had friends who got degrees from them, and companies actually turned them away saying they were a promising applicant if not for that, because that stupid "school" trains so many bad habits into the people it teaches. And it's not a real degree! Corporate America only recognizes university degrees, and certifications in Cisco, Perl, C++, etc. Trust me.

My recommendation to you? Do what I did. Go to a community college, get your core classes out of the way for CHEAP (We're talking 200 a semester for a full 12 hours) get your associates, then transfer to a university. You'll save SO MUCH MONEY you can go to whatever university you want. Also, if you stay on an honor roll, which is easier to achieve at a CC, then you can apply for a scholarship with a degree GPA backing you, and the door is opened for all the funding you could ever dream of. Completely serious.

But I could not stress this enough to you. If I had but one breath of life left in this mortal coil, I would expend it to say NO ITT! Going to a CC will make you feel better in the process. You can take night classes, it's soo laid back, and core classes at a CC are the same as at a university. Plus it'll be prepare you for the lifestyle that you'll have to face if you want to go for a BA. But you know? You won't even have to if you don't want to. An associates is more widely recognized and accepted for GOOD jobs than a technical institute piece of paper is. They'll laugh in your face if you say you have a degree then show them that. In fact, when I was a manager at corporate side of best buy's geek squad, I would turn down people who wanted jobs if they presented me with an ITT degree. They knew NOTHING...Whew. Sorry about that rant XD

...no itt!
