Saint Xavier University

Major: Undecided (This Major's Salary over time)
This "university" is filled with students that are a product of the very poor Chicago Public School system. As a result, you will have classes, if you choose to attend, in which students do not understand the student-teacher-class model. They will interrupt the teachers and lectures frequently. They will often attend class without ever making an attempt to purchase the required texts (thus perpetually interrupting the class throughout the semester).

I jumped ship after only one semester, and it's the best decision I have made academically. This place is good for two groups of people: those who want to work as a nurse (their nursing program is said to be reputable), and those who want to teach from the same crappy public school system from which they emerged. Any other degree will most likely be of little value because the academic rigor (lack thereof) and poor networking within industries (any of them) will set you up for failure. Now, a degree in and of itself is better than none, that is clear. But if you are spending your own dough, do it somewhere that has a better payoff. If you are attending for the sake of learning, again, you can probably do it somewhere else a lot more effectively.
