Just received a "notice of school closure" letter from IADT Pittsburgh and what had been cold, buried anger has just erupted to the surface.
I graduated with honors in 2003 from that financial maelstrom, and to no end, do I wish nothing but misfortune upon all and everyone involved with supporting the continued existence of the International Academy of Design and Technology-at every branch. They're all the same-Pittsburgh was obviously just the worst of the worst.
The extreme hatred -hatred - I have for IADT is thoroughly justified: the money spent during the semesters, the credit that's been ruined since graduating because of the f*king debt that's been incurred, and not a single job I can credit as to having obtained because of having graduated from IADT. All of that and more justifies every ounce of hatred and sliver of revenge I can get on that "institution".
7 years ago I actually thought IADT had the "in depth" courses and employer connections that the average community or even 4 year college just didn't have or couldn't match. How could I have been so stupid?! Because, I already had a worthless 4 year degree. I thought going the trade school route then, the "wam-bam just the courses needed to get employed" route would have the career boosting effect I didn't get from my bachelor's degree. What an idiot right? NO, IADT Pittsburgh was just a lying, piece-of-sh*t of an organization. I graduated with honors because I pushed myself beyond what was expected, because I could already see while going there, that majority of the students were of the lowest denominator-academically and intellectually, and that if I were to gain anything from going there, I would have to essentially educate myself.
So, Ernie Junstrom, Mr. "Campus Director" - next to pleading guilty for knowingly defrauding hundreds of students over the years, personally paying off all the "A" student's loan (s), who invested in your garbage "school", would be the first step in the right direction.
And if there is any justice in this world: you CEC school execs will never again profit from anyone.
