But each Test I think is like 168$ [you need 2 test for the A+] Honestly you don't need the course . . just grab a few books and read up a bit. 1 month of hard study should do it per Cert.

There is a difference between making a decision and having a plan. I hope the best for you. I am glad you DOING SOMETHING Rocket River
I suggest you really consider your options. at the very least from a financial perspective. You could get a better bang for your buck. You don't wanna end up possibly washing your dad's cobra and washing your junk in sinks when you're old.
glenrice i sure hope you are basing your decision on something other than the school's promotional materials and their idiotic tv commercials, if so maybe you really do belong there.
What is all this talk that employers don't take DeVry graduates seriously? I heard they actually enjoy getting their resumes...incase they ever run out of toilet paper, they have something to wipe their asses with

A vision without a goal is futile.. in your case GlenRice, if you are serious and do not take the advice of the people on this board, you deserve to waste your money for a useless degree at DeVry. darwinism at its best. In fact, pay me half their tuition, and I will give you a paper degree from 'Dwang University'. Imagine what that will do for your resume!! You'll be the only graduate.. I mean, what a deal! You can sign up tomorrow if you like. We specialize in facetious comments, bull****, and stupidity--traits sought for by many corporations today. Give me a ring Glen! I'd love to take your monies.
After all of our suggestions, you really want to pay 60,000 for Devry? It sounds like you truly do belong there
Morey would disagree... what kind of jobs were they? Were they in a related field? Were they the ones the students wanted?
For the love of god, do not listen to this piece of advice unless you are inclined on going into particular areas that recruit heavily from the Ivys, such as investment banking (even which small numbers from other universities are able to secure positions). Either way, going to DeVry will not help you. I would suggest you take Refman's advice - think long and hard if DeVry will help you reach your goals and if there is another route you can take to get there (possibly lower cost?). Goodluck either way.
Just google Devry Review. I bet you are not changing your mind because u already had paid for it. I am sorry.
Ok, a LOT of guys are talking out of their a**es here. I'll lay some facts down about my experience. I went to DeVry and got a CIS degree 12 years ago. It cost me roughly $40K Canadian at the time. My salary progression for the first 5 years out of school: Year 1: 24K->30K Year 2: 54K Year 3: 60K Year 5: 70K It's gotten better since then. :grin: Companies worked at to now: Small IT Startup Dot-com company Schlumberger Big mortgage company IT Consulting firm Shell (current) The education was great - small classes and the instructors are interested in you. Everyone who taught there had worked in the industry - much better than trying to learn something from a Chinese TA who can't speak English, or worse, your prof who has spent his whole life trying to prove some mathematical theorum. In addition, the programming classes used stuff currently used in the workplace. I couldn't have been better prepared to contribute from day 1 at my first job. The students were a mix of dumbashes and smart people trying to make something of themselves. Guess which ones succeeded after school? I can't tell you if my resume has been thrown in the trash because it's from DeVry - but I can tell you I've seen good and horrible hires from about every school that you can imagine. My degree hasn't stopped me from getting hired at Schlumberger (which supposed really values education) - and Shell (who just care if you can get the job done). GlenRice - you need to set a goal to graduate at or near the top of your class, and get everything you can out of your education. You'll regret it if you try and coast through.
