Hey,

I'm a gullible idiot but I praise dear sweet baby jesus that I was instilled with a natural paranoia and need to 'fact check.'

I was about to enroll in an IT program at a career college called Brown Mackie. I scheduled a 'visit' 'cuz I saw a flier in the mail about an easy and light course schedule. I'd seen tv ads for them for years and figured they were a legit school...

So I go, I'm there 3 hours, they run my FAFSA, Get all my info and everything. It's the first day I've ever talked to someone and inside 3 hours I'm enrolled, staring this monday and boom bada bing I'm in college.

Having preivously spent a nightmare trying to get into a community college(accepted and all got hung up in FA), I was amazed. They ran my FAFSA and enrolled me and charged it and boom... 30k for 2 years in an Associates Degree.

Then I double check 'em when I get home 'cuz I was like... 'that was waaaaay too easy.'

Their credits don't transfer and they don't offer a BA, so I would have never been able to get it. They weren't regionally accredited ANYWHERE. So i checked prices on tuition compared to the highly regarded community college I want to go to... (my aunt works there...)... the same program(essentially), has a third the cost for credit hours and less credit hours required.

I would have overpaid 20k for a lesser degree that I couldn't move forward with at the 'career college', as opposed to the community college which I can transfer into a higher univerity for a BA.

I read fine prin and am entitled to a 'full refund' from this BS Career College within 6 days... so tomorrow, I'ma jacknife up there early at the crack of dawn and make damn sure I kill that process deader then Jenna Jameson's tits.

I'm gullible... but thank the lord for google, 'fact checking' and paranoia.
