Waste of time and money

Rated 1.0 out of 5
January 25, 2024

I wasted almost 2 years at this so called school. I am still paying for it and still driving a truck because I got tired of getting laughed at when I went on job interviews trying to be an electrician every job said trade school was for fools. Live and learn.
