Any one been to a tech school like ITT tech or UEI? I'm thinking of going for the computer system tech course but I dunno if it's worth the 11k they're asking for

Hey what's up man? Right now I'm going to a tech school, or a trade school if you want to call it that too. My school is called Westwood College. The campus I'm attending to is in Anaheim. I graduated with my A.S in Computer Programming, and now I'm going for my A.S for Computer Networking. I paid like 27 thousand for my first degree and I'm paying 17 thousand for the current degree. I don't really think that's it's worth it right now but later it could be. Just taking my chances.

I went to DOn Bosco Tech for high school. I learned the same stuff thatthey were teaching at ITT tech and devry. I guess 11K isnt bad compared to a cal state or any other school

basically they were saying right now the job market for tech is rough. why because EVERYONE is into it. and anyone can pick up a book and learn so one important thing they look for is experience... i dunno before i wanted to goto trade school but now that i think about it, computers isnt for me. the competition is tough. i mean you still do earn alot tho... but 11k for school, just dont think its worth it. hmm maybe thats why i'm not going back to school period. thats just me tho. anyways i'm just babbling on.. here are the average salary in 2002 tho...
