The school is a watered down version of a real university which means that employers will not take your degree seriously. ITT Tech has a bad rep in the industry. 2. ITT Tech is ACICS accredited, which means that it does not have the same accreditation of a normal university. In other words, once you graduate, none of your coursework will count for a masters degree at any REAL university. 3. ITT Tech is extremely expensive. You mine as well go to Harvard for dummies. 4. ITT Tech is a publicly traded company and the stock price is booming. This means that it is a business and not a school. 5. ITT Tech accepts all those who could not get into a normal university and dumbs down all the requirements in order to keep money coming in in exchange for a useless certificate. I know, I used to study there. Five reasons not to go to ITT Tech.

You get out what you put in and find it very hard to believe that A students had trouble finding a job, did you even have any experience in the field? I graduated with a $50,000 starting salary, company car, cell phone, laptop, and I work out of my apartment in the medical field, and I am not much different then anyone else except that I wanted it more.

I want to see an ITT Tech ad based on reality; where the career services post cattle calls, not career opportunities. I currently am working in an entry level position, for an entry level wage, and even that I found through means outside of ITT. Like Pat, I die a little inside each time I see an ad for ITT, and I haven't even started paying my student loans back yet. I’m a current student at ITT Tech, studying for my A.A.S.

And are you kidding me about the commercial!!! I've seen it about 50 times and wanna kill myself everytime I see it. I went to ITT Tech and of the 12 people I am currently the only one with a job in a relatively related field... BTW: It took me a year to get and oh yeah...I had a 4.0!! I appleied to over 50 businesses got about 8 interviews and finally got a job over a year later. If you ask me, ITT is a horribly inconsistent school in terms of teaching quality and it's standards. I could go on much longer, but I leave the long rants for ittsucks.com JD - I think you’re confused with MIT..we’re talking about ITT. And are you kidding me about the commercial!!!
