I graduated from ITT in 04 with an Associates in Computer Network Systems. Took my two years to land a good job. I was self employed ate the time so I was a little selective when looking.Yes, it is expensive. VERY expensive. And yes, you can also get a similar curriculum at a local state or tech college. BUT, if you graduate from a local school, it is known there, but maybe not in another state. ITT is known everywhere. Yes there are good and bad about every school and ITT is no different. I got a fast paced education and a very good general knowledge and some very in depth knowledge in certain areas. I suggest you expand your job search and see what is out there. Don't rush to enroll anywhere until you have a clear path in your mind. Then start classes, get certs, take a crappy PC repair job or an internship or whatever to get that experience. My first real computer job was simply installing software, upgrading PC's and running CAT-5 on a barge. THAT was different. Now I am the assistant IT director at a local hospital. Not the most money I havfe ever made, but it has great benefits and I will soon be taking over the director's position which means a large pay increase. Along with more hours...
