Remington College - Tampa

Date: Nov 05 2009
Major: Computer Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
The preparation that Tampa Technical Institute gave me in 1980/81 was more than adequate for my first year of hire and provided for a 28 year career with an Electronics Manufacturing Supplier. It was well worth the money and effort expended.

The class material presented was not always easily absorbed and the student really had to apply himself or herself to learn what was being presented. The school was highly regarded as a provider of qualified candidates that fed all of those companies that were seeking electronic technicians at that time and the majority of the teachers in 1980 and 1981 really knew their material.

Unfortunately, any skill or trade that can be outsourced overseas, eventually will be and so,

my advice to the next candidate would be to select a career that cannot be readily outsourced. Criminal Justice or Pharmacy Technician would be better career choices going into 2010.

If you have the funding and the time to go to a four year college or can be accepted into a university, then, this may keep you employed longer.

Be mindful also, that there is a great emphasis on state licensing and federal certifications as we exit 2009.
