    Hey guys, I wanted to ask if anyone has attended Remington college or knows of taking classes there. I was thinking about doing business administration.

    I wanted to know what the alumni experience has been with job searches, and if this is worth they money. Thanks for your help.

    I would recommend you go to a community college instead, get your associates degree with really good grades and then transfer to a four-year college for the alst two years of your Bachelor's. If you're in the Houston area, there are quite a few around; all of which will allow you to transfer to one of the local public universities: U of H-Clear Lake, U of H-Downtown or TSU.

    Credits from for-profit colleges don't transfer, because they have fake accreditations and made-up curriculum. Their "admissions counselors" are sales-people: nothing more, nothing less.

    As someone with a Finance degree, I can tell you that Business Administration curriculum isn't very difficult and lots of people do it: which means for the degree to be of any value, you have to get your Bachelor's from an AACSB accredited school, and either get a marketable major (Accounting or MIS) or keep your grades really high (3.5 GPA or above).

    Also, if you want to work in something business-related, figure out a major before you get too far in your studies:

    Accounting - If you do well enough, you can sit for your CPA after college. Plus, most of the finance/banking jobs and alot of non-technical energy jobs are accounting-related. If you major in Accounting, you should probably also minor in Finance or MIS.

    Marketing - Do this if you want to work in sales, advertising or just about any retail management job. You should probably get a minor in either Management or Communications.

    Management Information Systems - This is a computer-related degree; it's similar to a Computer Science degree, but it has much easier math and more business-related classes. You will take some programming courses, but you would probably end up doing more tech-support or IT project management with this degree. If you do this, you should probably also go to New Horizons and get some tech certifications like MCSE or Oracle DBA.

    What's the point of college? If you can't answer this question then you should attend Remington College.
