Trade Schools... - School & Work

Maybe it's just me but I absolutely can't stand trade school commericals, from Maric, UEI, Coleman, hmm whats the other one that comes on during Springer? They are soo cheesy and fake and make it look soo easy to get a job after you finish but fail to mention that you will spend a fortune there and by the time you graduate laws change and your licenses are pretty much useless unless you want to work in a nursing home.

When i was working at Maric, I hated when i would be sitting at home watching tv and a commerical would come on. DH would joke...."you better get to work, the phones are going to be ringing!" i feel your pain though

How funny. But yeah I can't stand hearing how great Maric is. But then again I have a jaded view of them.

I don't doubt it at all. I took their PCAT course. WASTE of money. By the time I graduated the state of California passed the law that there needs to be more RN's on hospital floors then CNA's and PCATS are looked at just as low as a CNA.

But do you think Maric told anyone this? Ohh no. Gosh forbid.

they try to get everytone to go PCAT, unless there is a CNA or MA class coming up. the only ones they get to do CNA are those that are going to go fo LVN. i loved the people that i worked with, but i couldnt be an admissions rep.

Vocational schools aren't that bad

. My best friend graduated from Maric and she is currently working as an RN at Sharp Hospital and doing fantastic. My sister graduate from UEI and is currently a Pharmacy Technician and doing great also. Its all about how you work the system in your favor

True but when the system lies to you, sorta hard to work it for you. KWIM?
