Tech Training Schools Going Bust

superflippy writes "The Associated Press reports that many tech training schools which opened during the last few years are now shutting their doors. During the dot-com boom, there was the perception that a few months of computer training could lead to a fabulous job. Now, it seems all these schools have produced are unemployed people with student loans and dubious certifications."

"So of course, someone who shouldn't have been in the class raised his hand and asked, "Is that an "i" after the "c"?"

You know what is really funny? The fact that you think someone should be knowledgeable about all facets of computers and semantics of specific operating systems in an "Intro to C++" course... if you were such a fucking hotshot why didn't you test out of the course? The point is people are in school to learn, not to be put down by elitists.

I had mod points, and was going to mod you down, but I'd rather vent. You need a serious attitude adjustment, and if you had actually turned around and chastised that poor fellow for wanting to learn, I seriously hope the professor would throw you out of the class by your ear like the immature punk you are.
