I went to CUNY for undergrad and grad and the quality of education for the price (abt 2500/semester f/t) is unbeatable. I was going for my casac-t but switched to something else, but I can answer questions if u need specifics
I know for-profit colleges are basically corporations ( many of which have stock on the index), but they are just as bad as those predatory loan companies. I can't think of one good thing about them.
If you take a semester at one, the entire environment is toxic. The "professors" have no credentials, the admissions, testing and grading standards don't exist and the degrees are expensive and are never taken seriously by an employer worth their salt.
They load their students up with debt knowing that they are neither academically prepared or properly credentialed to enter the work force. And to top it off you can't transfer the credits to ANY regionally accredited college program to get a 4 year degree and no grad or professional degree program will touch it if you decide to go to the next level.
Basically you're paying 50k+ for a piece of paper that can't do anything for you but simply exist
It's nothing more than the "pet rock " of the academic world.
Laguardia Community college is right across the street. Save the money and go to them.
nah not baruch
The overwhelming majority of ANYONE benefiting from college degrees are whites, and even a shyt ton of them are sitting on degrees and debt they can barely pay for. Meanwhile you have blacks graduating with superior credentials to a lot of whites, and won't even get their feet in any doors. If you're black, most don't give a shyt if you have a degree or not, you're still gonna end up having to beg the white man for a job. Meanwhile if you pick up a skilled trade or some shyt, you can sell services and not have to beg anyone for work.When did I Shyt on trades?
What I am shytting on, is your attack on college degrees. Statistically they provide great benefits for graduates. When it comes to OP ,CUNY's they're extremely cheap. His degree is worth it.
It makes absolutely no sense in any stretch of the imagination. As an admissions officer/advisor in NYC, it just use to drive me insane to see applications with "Devry", "Full Sail" etc...they're not admittable ANYWHERE lol. The inflated GPA from there won't get you into any school...and the credits don't transfer anywhere...just a double and triple negative.Facts. One of my boys Matthew went to Devry college in LIC. I'm telling him
I did a little bit of college. I should have finished my degree, it's one of my two regrets. I believe it's true that college grads will make more money than me. My friends who graduated make more money than me now and are on track in life. They have advanced degrees from top universities though, so they earned it.
Take out the loans. It's worth it. You have a ten year plan. You have the will. You're running out of time. And the only thing you're missing are the resources to execute your plan. You'll get a job in your field and since you're motivated you will succeed. I believe you'll succeed even if you stay at the school you're at as long as you're learning what's required to do your job. Most people suck at what they do and they're just collecting a check.
never. No machine on this planet could do what I do for a living. Not yet anyway,
