ITT-Technical Institute
ITT A four year degree with more than $80,000 in student loans. I don't make enough to make payments that they are demanding. This is not counting 9000 they recieved from PELL grants

I started ITT in the Fall of 2002. I started getting my degree in Computer networking systems. I had to take off two semesters to have a child. The tuition kept going up and up. They told me when I was close to graduation and was having a hard time finding a job, that I needed experience in order to find a job. They told me my chances would improve dramatically if I had my bachelors degree.

In the meantime, I took it upon myself to find internships and do volunteer work to gain experience. The school had very little to offer as far as internships and very little to offer in lucrative job offers. They did not have the credentials to offer the students as far as getting to take your certifications on campus at a discount.

We had to go outside of the campus and pay full price. I did not get them because of the price factor. I got my bachelors degree in Internet Security Systems. I had a GPA of 3.70 in associates and 3.65 in my bachelors. When I graduated, ITT tried to get me to go to work at a place called teletech making $10/hr. $6 less an hour than I was making at the job I quit to go back to college.

With the help of a friend I landed a job that paid more than that. But with more than $80,000 in student loan debt, that does not include $9,000 that A PELL grant was given to me, I still cannot afford to pay the astronomical payments that they are demanding and still be able to raise a family and pay bills. The job that I got hired at requires that you have banking experience and customer service experience, some of my coworkers only have high school degrees. I have learned my lesson about scams.

The counselors that work at these schools to recruit people are sales people, they are there to keep the numbers high.

Caveat emptor
all that glitters is not gold
if it's too good to be true, it probably is
