Hi all, There are many different attitudes that you can take as an approach to education. You can be one of the losers that breeze through and are only present to satisfy someone else. Then there are those that are there, competing every day, challenging themselves to get 100% on everything and anything possible, and taking the time to understand the material. If you are not one of these people, you will not be successful at ANY university. I had my bad moments at ITT, trust me, I got an Instructor FIRED for being an idiot. Yet, regardless, it is because of the education I received at ITT that cetain doors opened. I followed up the A.S. with the B.S. program, and got promoted from a Technician to an Engineer (With some work and convincing). I have worked hard to learn all the things that were not quite presented so well, and have found success. I make a extremely competitve salary, and have not had any issues getting a job. I graduated Valedictorian from my programs, and it has paid off.

I do understand that there are those that have been pushed to graduate, and thrown into the world to make it more challenging for the individuals who are valued. I feared this as well, seeing some of the products that graduated, I felt the need to prove myself. But if you think about it, there are many idiots at EVERY school - graduating.

Instead of going on and on: I did not think the value of education was great, but it does give you the opportunity and edge to get ahead in life, if you apply yourself properly. Learning to find answers is better than having to memorize all the answers.
