> attending a school like ITT displays a shocking inability to do even the most cursory research before making a huge life decision.

Meh. Again, torn. I can understand the sentiment having had my own frustration with interviewing ITT tech grads years later. And it seems somewhat fair to hold that attitude against a recent graduate, considering the allegations have been around for some years now. But almost 15 years ago, with most accusations having not yet been levied and internet access not as widespread, "the most cursory research" wouldn't have likely have lead one to warnings about the school.

I shouldn't worry about it terribly. What's done is done and the only thing that can be done for it is to do the best work I can, and let the results speak for themselves.




I remember 15 years ago or thereabout and ITT Tech was advertising on daytime television. When was the last time a reputable institution of higher learning had a television advertisement strategy, let alone on daytime television. Their model has been predatory since day 1, and it wasn't too hard to see through it.
