Of the three people I know, one got a criminal justice degree and now sells real estate, another got a business degree and continues to work on a factory line, a third has decided to become a professional student and see how many degrees she can get - but she never intends to work - is 38 and never had a job in her life.
I attended one of their certificate ceremonies - she was not receiving a degree, mind you, just getting a 1 year completion ceremony. I was amazed at what they were giving completion certificates for - filing was one of them - who brags they got a certificate in filing and hangs it on their wall? In my day you learned such things with OTJ training, or in high school business classes - its not rocket science to learn to file alphabetically, good grief! I was very sad that those girls had paid to learn it. I question the cirriculum and morals of colleges that have classes like that and give out certificates for them, and can't imagine what an HR person thinks when someone proudly presents it to her across the hiring desk! |
I personally know 3 people it was wasted on - but for some it has worked out well
