ITT TECH?

 

[unit321]

Just wondering. I was going to ITT tech but i dropped out. Now I'm having to start from scratch at community college. I'm 27 and I feel it's getting crunch time for a degree. Can't be 34 looking to work with with 21 year olds straight from college and shyt. Idk man, maybe college isn't right for me. I would like to finish but all the traditional routes aren't there. Dropped out of HS at 16, got ged at 21 and has spent the last 6 years working shytty ass job, bruhs. Was going to military but I see I need a few college courses because I have a ged and not Hs diploma. One of the things that has the pressure on me is I've told myself that I don't want to be whipping a lambo at 75 years old like most old dudes, I want that shyt in the next 15 years (aka now). That's not to say that I do stupid shyt with my money because that couldn't be further from the truth. It's just that I've always held myself to high standard for myself and I'm not making this shyt happen right now. Got a A+ business idea that I know would sell like hotcakes but I feel I need a degree for w/e reason to achieve that goal. People (esp black people) always tell me to be grateful I have a job....well, I am but I want MUCH better for myself. A lot of people don't understand that. It's like as a black man, people feel I should content with making 30k or 35k for the rest of my life. fukk that shyt. My dad did that and I'm not doing it. The lambo is pretty much the bar I set and I can't seem to lower it, neither should I have to. Sorry for the long read but I just had to let that out.

Well, you at least have the mind to know that without a degree, there is a higher probability of getting a job that pays between minimum wage and 35K a year. Yes, you could find a good job that pays in the 30K range, but without a degree, you are stuck at the level forever. You don't go from janitor to captain janitor.
I have two bachelor degrees. The first one is almost useless. Second one is good. I kind of wish I got a master's degree. Why? More opportunities. Better opportunities.

I really wish I became a medical doctor, but in reality, I don't think I could have survived the 8 years of education. I look at job listings for doctors and the pay range is six-figures.

Man, med school aint no joke. You might to cruise through the prerequisites in Undergrad, but Every Med School student I know has told they have to study round the clock to stay afloat......

Its good you left ITT Tech that school isn't regionally accredited. Community College is safer and cheaper.

Well it sounds like you are a slacker without a firm grip on reality. Set realistic goals and then work towards meeting those goals. Lamborghini dreams with ATT and community education at 27 is not realistic breh. Not to rain on your parade, but I've seen too many brothers fall in the cracks with unrealistic dreams.

 

[Atlrocafella]

Yes and Yes..Finance.

 

[Human Torch]

B.B.A. in Supply Chain Mgmt. Work in logistics so yea.

Worked at Kmart in the manager in-training program for like 7 months wen I first graduated. I make that shyt sound like the best job ever in every interview. Gotta make whatever experience you got seem valuable any way possible

When in actuality a nikka was breaking down pallets and stocking shelves

A year left of school then post grad and then a residency. Sometimes i feels like i'll never finish. Maybe i should use this Health Admin and make this 70gs a yr.

 

[Two Stacks]

Yes, I have, and no I haven't. I am working on getting into the field, because I'm still in school.

I dont understand all the hate for ITT. I graduated from there and got a job in my field of study. Plenty of employers seek out ITT graduates. While searching for a job I had plenty of hiring managers express their fondness for ITT and it's graduates. My credits even transferred to the university of Phoenix where I'm finishing my Bachelor's degree now. Honestly going to ITT was probably the best descision I've made as a young adult.
