Complaint Review: ITT Technical Institute - Strongsville Ohio

Mark, I'm just wondering in what capacity have you accumulated 25 years of experience in the IT field. In 1981, Microsoft was a tiny company hardly anyone knew and Intel was making microprocessors for industrial controllers. The first PC's were just being introduced. When a person said "computer", they were referring to an IBM 390 mainframe, or perhaps a Commodore 64, and there were no computer ?networks? tp speak of. The internet existed only in university libraries and military installations and was used to transfer research text, 95% of the general public had never even heard the term. The Columbia (the space shuttle) had brand new O-rings and was making its maiden voyage. Mark, were you exaggerating just a little? If so, what else did you post that was more embellishment than truth? There was no such thing as the IT field 25 years ago. If you truly had worked in IT that long, you would know that! ?Information Technology? didn't become a ?field? until the 90's. Oh, and what's your beef with Erin? All she did is write about her experiences at ITT. What's it to you?

This is in response to Erin. You are so ignorant of the truth. Even if everything you say is true what's your point? The school is no good. You'll see. Wait until you get a job (if you can)and are asked to perform. What do you intend to do? Go reference your ITT books? You'll screw up so bad, you'll be laughed out on your butt and wind up making at Best Buy or your local Handy Dandy Computerland making a deceint $10 bucks an hour and you'll gratefully send in your $50/month over the next 20 years for ITT providing you with the opportunity to be so succesful. Hell maybe you can even be in thier next commercial and make cookies or bake a cake and tell every "how the future never smelled so good." I've been in the IT industry for 25 years and trust me when I say that a degree from ITT hurts your chances to get a good job in this business. The only thing worse than a tech who knows nothing is one who knows nothing but thinks he does. You always can get a job as an ITT instructor, since most of them come from the school anyways. But that requires more schooling , more money, more debt, and then you'll be as bad as and as much of much of a scumbag as the school you so proudly defend. GOOD LUCK, you're going to need it.

I have read many of the comments about ITT Tech, I am currently a student. To say the least most have got me worrying and wondering but this one I know some of the facts are absolutely incorrect. Firstly, I would like to say if he is speaking of the C++ instructor currently employeed at the school, I have to wonder how my current teacher has never once missed single class, in 2 quarters of him being my instructor he has never missed a class. Secondly, until this quarter, they have never offered an english classes on campus. They were online competely. As it's not even english the class is composition. I am currently being instructed by a former Akron University instructor, who in no ways says Ummm... every other word. Secondly I am a bit concerned as this man claims to have posted a previous report, however the only other report for this particular location was done by a man named Frank, from Mansfield, not Jason from N. Canton. I am going to do my own research into my campus. As I have already invested so much I want to make sure that these allegations are true. However I do believe this one is an incorrect and misrepresented, possibly by a disgruntled former student.
