I can't stop thinking about ITT Tech.

[SheepToTheFleecing]

I am obsessing about ITT Tech. I can't stop thinking about the teachers and the rest of the lying sacks of shit. I wake up in the morning and think about how they ruined any chance I would ever have to earn a degree or have any credit. I distract myself throughout the day, but when it comes time to lay down to sleep I take a pill and I still think about them until I fall asleep. I believe it goes without saying that I also dream about them on a regular basis. Now, this is very embarrassing and takes away from my credibility, but it has been this way for a really long time. There are days when I do little more than brood over how blatant and obvious the cheating was and how we just sat around wasting time until "class" was over and we were given some "homework" or the answers to next weeks test and excused from "class.". (And that one teacher of mine who had some fucking problem. What the fuck was that guy's problem? He was the teacher. I would have done anything he asked; instead, he just made fun of the fact that I actually wanted to learn... and had fun with me when I needed his "help" to "complete" some "assignment".)

I am aware of how utterly ridiculous and unhealthy this is and I would like to stop. I am miserable on a daily basis. I don't understand how these crooked fucks sleep at night. Do they tell themselves that they are better than us and so it is okay?

I AM AWARE THAT IT IS MY FAULT BECAUSE ON SOME LEVEL I KNEW I WAS BEING LIED TO AND MANIPULATED INTO "GET[TING MY] DEGREE" AND INTO NOT SWITCHING CAMPUSES. Also, I acted all superior while I was attending. When the teachers turned out to be slackers and assholes and unqualified and weren't academically honest... feeling superior came very easily to me.

I felt the same way and went through the same thing after I finally quit ITT in October 2007.

I don't know how old you are, but I am 46 years old and ITT was like my last shot of getting a decent job and it ended going nowhere.

I have gotten over the hate and realize that I will just be working a low paying job, paying off debts, and be a lower class loser until the day I die.

Thanks for replying to my post doniker. Sounds like you are doing better than me.

I did the same, because I actually gave a damn and learned what they had to offer - and people hated me for it!
Try to program yourself to not think about ITT. I used to obsess about my high credit card debt and the only thing that helped was paying it down to zero, so try to pay off your loans somehow.

Hearin' everything, readin' everything, seein' everything, ...

If da class action suit is won, we better get everything back!

Learned what they had to offer? You mean about football?

Pay off my loans? Somehow?

We had a couple of good teachers and I earned a few certifications. Best regards.

Hey Sheep, I keep seeing your posts and just read your story. As a current (and new) instructor at ITT it makes me sick to hear how badly they treated you and how much they've taken from you. I know I can't apologize for them, but I am sorry it happened and I want you to know I'm going to try to keep people from suffering in the same way.

I don't know where you stand on any religious issues, but I know the bible does offer comfort in a lot of situations.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." - Revelation 21:1-4

Anyway, take care of yourself, man. You're doing a great service to us all by sharing your story.
