This is the biggest issue for me. I went to ITT (not getting into that discussion). I have a good job right now and need to work full time. I find that I get filtered out of a lot of job searches for not having a B.S. Since the credits don't transfer to anywhere I would consider attending I'm not sure what to do. I guess the only option is that some universities and local colleges offer online undergad programs. Other than that I don't know where you can go for actual in class learning if you work a standard full time job. The entire "need to work full time and go to school" is how I ended up at private nationally accredited program in the first place and I spent way more money than it would have cost me to go to a community college for 4 years.
Sorry to say, but I don't think the issue is a lack of a BS, but it's that your credential is from ITT. This isn't meant to be demeaning or derogatory, but ITT just isn't a highly regarded institution.
Well I agree to a point but I've been told specifically from some recruiters that It's because I don't have a BS. I honestly think if I had a BS from ITT I would be considered though it would certainly not hold the weight that a real BS would. But there is no way I'm giving that company any more of my money. The funny thing is I have about 10 years of experience now and currently work for IBM (which can't look too bad on a resume).
Yep. I wish my parents and I would have understood that but we didn't. Although I can't say that I'm doing bad. I just think that I would be doing better if I had a 4 year university or even community college degree. Plus I would have saved money vs a 2 year "degree".
