Butler County Community College

Major: Computer Science (This Major's Salary over time)
Butler County Community College, although hyped up as one of the premiere community college's in the state is one of the most awful educations I have ever received. I went there for 3 years, bouncing back between major after major, because not one professor could make me interested in anything I wanted to do.

I finally buckeled down and finished a degree in networking and PC management. According to BC3 after i graduated with my Associates in Applied Science degree, I should have been getting job offer after job offer…well…I looked at many jobs in the field i was "educated" for and to my suprise, I was so undereducated I felt like I had just wasted 3 years of my life. Bc3 does not offer an Education in computers that you need to succeed. One of the professors i had spent the first week, two semesters in a row (different classes) explaining to us what a mouse was.

Job placement is awful, great guidance, horrible execution, they have a rating of 95% job placement…what they don't tell you is that probably 35% of those 95% of jobs were related to the field you graduated in. I, unfortunately was offered a job in the local steel mill as a floor worker. But fortunately I got a job at the local cable company answering technical support calls for $10 an hour.

The financial aid, is bad too, in the middle of my education, the financial aid office switched my loan companies and now i have to pay two loan payments a month.

If you want to get a Bc3 education, burn you money, it's about the same equivalent. Or, just buy some of those "Dummie's" books, you'll learn more.
