Statistical Analyzer:

I attended UCC for the vet tech program and went though 3 semesters before I wised up and realized what I was doing. Being a for-profit private school, tuition was very expensive; too expensive for someone looking to enter the vet tech field. When I was there, the associates degree was close to 110 credits, and reports from graduated students were that, in total, $35K++ were being borrowed/spent for the degree. Certification is not required in utah to be a vet tech, and payscale is very low. Students are graduating and starting out at $10/hr with huge loans to repay. I was already working as a tech and wanted to further my skills/education, but after seeing how much I was spending for this degree, and how little difference it would make towards my wages, I realized I needed to stop throwing money at a school who only cared about collecting, and not if they were doing their students a REAL service or not. I truly feel sorry for those students who graduated from the school and struggle with their massive loan payments at their <$25k a year job.

When I went to the orientation for this program, the director explained to the group that UT would be requiring vet techs to be certified in the next 18 months. This created a sense of urgency as it lead us to believe that if we wanted to follow our dream, then we needed to enroll, as UCC has the only vet tech program in the state. Well, it's been 3 years and UT is NO CLOSER to requiring certification. I found out that the school has been saying this ever since the first group started (5-6 years ago) and probably continues to tell this lie to incoming students. It's dishonest and wrong. But how else can they convince people to sign up for an outrageously expensive program for a career that pays very little and can be obtained through on-the-job training?
