In case you've been living under a rock the past few days, the government told ITT tech that it had to shape up, and would no longer be able to get federal loans for students until they do. Since that would require ITT to actually turn into a school, they decided to take the money they had and run, closing all campuses and leaving 1000's of students high and dry. I've
In case you haven't seen the new lately: http://gizmodo.com/rest-in-peace-itt-tech-you-bastards-1785946020 ITT Tech is FINALLY being shut down. After years of exploiting students and basically stealing money from the government, uncle sam has had enough. Now... there's got to be room in all this for a good lawsuit, massive fraud to the tune of 100's of
I graduated from ITT earlier this year, so I have had a few months of making payments on my fine education. It is kind of shocking, even though I knew it was coming, and I saw the huge loans month after month. I was also paying back as much as I could while going to school, which accounted for close to $20,000 in payments already being made. The end result? Nearly

The Return of the Window Lickers Another Saturday morning of time well spent. This week for capstone was chalk full of fun, and as an added bonus if you make it to the end of this posting there is an EPIC tale which I can hopefully find the words to describe accurately. But first, ranting! So it's week 2 and the class consists of a lot of make believe project management focused
Capstone - Round 2 - FIGHT! Here we go again, and the horror started to pile up the first day! First - The teacher is one of the least technical in the school, he's actually a project manager. I've had him for multiple classes and he's terrible. His idea of lecture is reading every slide in his presentation word for word. One potential hilarious moment to come
The final quarter has begun. Have you ever signed a contract or lease and then spent the remainder of the time counting the seconds until you were free of it?
