2007 Alumnus on April 04, 2011 said:
I graduated at the Top of my graduating class in 2007 (was valedictorian). Felt as if I was imposing on the "career counselor" and was placed in a position where I was responsible to clean rooms and drag laundry bags down 3 flights every other day working with a depressed psycho who spent every other day crying about her life. I'll be paying back my loans till 2018 and since I got tired of reading ads for "experienced only" cma's, am now a legal secretary/receptionist (without having to pay $5000 to be employed there). I will be continuing to throw away not only the money I paid for tuition but also additional $$ in interest. Have tried to contact the school on a number of subsequent occasions but NOT A SINGLE REPLY.
Good Luck and don't believe the amount of $$ they tell you you'll be making -- key word: "potential". I also have the potential to be a millionaire - that's not happening either.
Thanks Berdan for NOTHING! Maybe Fortis will be different - but I doubt it.
