Major: Other (This Major's Salary over time)
Going to ESF was a waste of my money and time. I was told it was a great school yet as a female, I was treated in such that my getting my money's worth of education was not warranted! I was not allowed to take important classes that I really needed to get into a great position. Therefore, no one is hiring me because I was only allowed to take basically-basket weaving of my field classes! My major was a MPS in Construction Management. Yet I was not allowed to take the classes that I needed. I have heard comments from interviewers like-you missed the most important classes. I did not miss them-I was not allowed to take them because of one teacher's petty ego! This school should give me a refund because of what I was put through by one if it's teachers and the lame department head who was in charge when I was in school. I could have gone to Onondaga and gotten a degree in Architectural Tech. I bet I would be in a job now. But because of my high educational background, they talked me into going to ESF to get a MPS in Construction Management. Yet I am still missing the important classes because of one guy! I was misled by my advisor and this one teacher would not make an exception for me. I would have had to come back for probably another years of classes because of this teacher. Considering I was driving daily from Utica, I was not going to do that. Also, I already paid for my classes. Why did I have to drop out so late because of this one teacher? I know why he did what he did. He knows why. My advisor knows why and the weak department head at the time knew why. Let's face it. If they were not so short of good teachers in that department, I would have graduated when I was supposed to with the classes I needed to have a great education. But they do not have enought teachers and you have at least one who abuses his rights of his job to give students a hard time. He cares for no one except his own ego and the school is letting him do it! I do feel I am owed a refund or at least the right to come back and take the courses I am missing to supplant my education and make it a better one. I cannot help but feel bitter towards this school for how I was treated by this teacher and how your school let him act the way he wants just because you are short of teachers! I cannot ever tell anyone to go to this school and get an education because I am proof of how they treat women in a field like Construction Management. That teacher should have been fired. But I bet he was not even talked to because of the shortage of teachers.
