What luck, I was just commenting on Reddit this morning on a post criticizing for-profit schools about how I went to trade school and don't regret it.
A little copy-paste here…
I went to essentially a for profit trade-school 15 years ago. On the one hand, it was more expensive than I was lead to believe by the salesman (this was a whole ordeal), and let me tell you it was EXPENSIVE. On the other hand, I genuinely believe I received a very high quality education. All of my teachers had actually worked in the industry for years and knew their fields inside and out. Additionally the class sizes were tiny. Lots of one-on-one time with the teachers.
I actually got a pretty high paying job within 6 months of graduating I held for 5 years before moving to an even better company. The school was massively helpful with placement presumably to improve their numbers.
My only real regret is that I can’t really continue my education without starting over. They went out of businesses and my degree isn’t really recognized by state schools.
