I'm not trying to promote the Big 3 or Little 3. I'm talking about an economic change we are all currently dealing with.
I'm not attacking the Big 3. In fact, Career Step probably better represents the trend in terms of price of tuition. If they add Job Placement full time, they will be tough to beat.
Obviously, all companies are going to be squeezed because the consumer is being squeezed. Thus my prediction- just a prediction- and I'm not attacking the Big 3; I think tuitions will come down. AND I'll go further, I think job guarantees will become much more prevalent because this is what the consumer wants.
I know from dealing with MTs all day that I have to be very accurate as MTs naturally search out the smallest details, have to do that to be any good at the job. I wasn't the best MT. I'm better in management. So I try to be accurate so I don't get knit picked. The important messages can be lost by trivial criticism and small minds.
My prediction is not accurate in every sense. How can a prediction be entirely accurate? It's an educated guess. If I am right, we should start to see tuition prices falling. It will be so slow that we may not notice it. I'm guessing the consumer will demand lower prices as the economy continues to suffer.
I'm not criticizing Andrews or M-Tec. No need to beat on me again. I'm talking about something bigger than the Big 3. Banks failing, dollar dropping, oil going up, food going up, CC debt on the rise, savings down, real estate falling, record foreclosures, etc. This will all snowball over the next 2-3 years. Issues like these are interlinked with one affecting the other. The consumer will seek solutions. Schools will have to adapt to changing economic forces. We all will.
Peggy take a chance and say what you see happening! Offer something that will give us your insight. Students are a part of the cash strapped population and can use any insight they can get. Put a bunch of opinions together and we can better form our own bigger view.
