Al Collins Graphic Design School Collins College Paying $30,000.00 on a useless degree (now over half payed, and continue to forfit) Tempe, Arizona
Graduated with honors in roughly 1990/91, graduating third in the class (including night classes). I also worked for the school as a teaching assistant prior to graduating. With reccomendation. I graduated With high hopes of gaining a successful career, or even just an entry level position. Without getting into much detail here,, I have been paying off a 30,000.00 loan for over ten years now, I work full time making a mere 31,000.00 a year sucking up at the local VA in an administrative position, and have lost several disabled veterans educational benefits because of my "Al Collins degree". I have a lot more to say,, to include what they did for the Alaskin Students back in 89.
I did have three teachers I value highly, Robin Weddum, Pam Hashu, and Nancy Gaillard. Joanne Desnider was part of the adminstration at the time and truly cared for the students,, She should have been running the school at the time, she would have been honest about things. I have little to say about the rest of my learning experience. When I went to the school, it was roughly 1987, I was a sub contractor installing cable and maiking a decent wage (so much that I did not qualify any grants). When I graduated Al Collins, I could have qualified for food stamps, and for over ten years there after.
I have names,, promises, dates, etc. If it would help with any lawsuits. Thanks Al, you money grubbing whatever, you really messed things up for me.
