Where in my post did you gather that I am against profit? I'm very much business oriented. The way these schools operate is my issue. I was trying to convey how they take advantage of young lower middle class children, I suppose I failed?
- nazgulnarsil 17y agoeverything that humans make is designed to profit something somehow. disparaging a school as being for "profit" and not education doesn't make sense. profit is how you know that people want your service. your anecdotal experience at a crappy trade school has little to do with the economics of educating people.
- jacquesm 17y agoThe way I read it is that you should have done a lot more research on what school to pick in the first place. There are plenty of schools that offer things that are of no value to me, if I go and enroll in one I'll make damn sure that I'm going to spend my time and money wisely. I look at some of my friends who went to college and got stuck in fairly low paying jobs and I wonder if the only thing that made it work for me was a 5 year head start at a time when personal computing was just becoming big business. Maybe in another time and place the college degree would have been the way to go. All I know is that it is 50% luck and timing, all the rest is hard work. Congratulations on making it this far! Keep moving (and keep learning) and who knows what is in your future.
- clistctrl 17y agoYou're completely right about lack of research. I try not to make that same mistake again but with every new endeavor I do.
