For the achievments of you kids! Great!! To the OP - Once you post a report here you are subjected the rebuttals. Don't like the rules then don't post. As for your Externship - you do not get paid for this. Interships/Exterships enable you to gain experience so you have that on your resume when you apply for jobs instead of finishing a degree and throwing you to the wolves.
I wish you luck in your career and hope you find the success you seek. I do agree that these Degree Mill colleges are the worst and should be shut down. FYI - Bad is not a feeling - I know of what I speak because I am finishing my second degree in Social Work. Be safe and take care.

Of course I understood what you said. I actually teach semi-illiterate adults all day long (rather than sit on my fat, lazy behind as you implied).
Although its against my general principles to bring my kids in on these kinds of things, I really want to correct your misconception about what they would be like. Both of my daughters are professionals one is a biochemist, one a history teacher. Both have undergraduate and graduate degrees from traditional schools. My biochemist daughter is geographically single while her husband is in Iraq. She is raising their two year old while working a full time job and attending school part time (at Johns Hopkins, no less). My other daughter has no children. She has been voted favorite teacher by her students all five years shes been a teacher. Neither girl even remotely resembles a bully. Nor am I.
I am merely pointing out the ridiculousness of a complaint from a college grad who cant write! Im sorry if I hurt your feelings but its better for you to find out now than after youve been turned down for jobs because you cant pass a writing test.
However, I DO applaud your willingness to better your yourself and pursue higher education. Just do it at a better school. Perhaps your local community college will accept Kaplan credits and you can finish
earning the degree you really wanted.

Your post highlights several problems with these propriety technical schools. Not only are they shady when it comes to managing federal aid, but they let you graduate with sub-par skills!
The real rip off here is that this "school" let you graduate before you had any command of English. Your written communication skills are poor and you would have benefitted from a few courses in English composition from a real college.
I hope that whatever doctor's office hires you (which isn't likely given the lack of career assistance these "schools" offer) doesn't let you write anything in a patient's file.
Who ever you are. I realy do not care what you think about my english. You are the problem. If all your time consist of coming to these places trying to make people feel bad it realy does not work. I was not getting paid to write this rip off report. I am actually sure you understood everything I said. In the work place it is a whole different story. Get a life... So what do you do for a living. Are you fat and lazy! You set at a computer all day typing crap to make people feel bad. I am actually sure that anyone that reads it will understand it. So my point is getting across just as I wanted it to. Kaplan University is part of the problem when it comes to our country's financial problems. "I hope you enjoy your day" I also hope that you do not have children... It would be sad to see more hatefull people in our schools. Nothing but bullies!
