I attended devry and graduated in 05 , however i wasn't working in the IT field then, however, after my third year, I was hired by my professor as a tutor. After graduation, i got help desk jobs like there were going out of style. One lasted about 20 months it was ok, but i dont want to do customer servce rolls for the rest of my life. My recommendation is that besides getting a B.S degre from devry, get certified as well, especially the ones that are starting out and no nothing about computers or there major. Its important to get a good professor that cares about his students, you'll probably learn twice as much. Unfortunatly with me, (dont know about others) i am having a very difficult time obtaining a network admin job or entry level position where i can learn on the job. I received my B.S degree in communication managment and i am getting the impression that employers dont look at devry as an university, but rather an institute or college. I guess that could ruin your chances of landing a position for a large firm such as IBM or AT&T Dervy, not the most reputable school out there but some of the courses are well worth taking, for example, the CCNA CISCO course have alot to offer as well as the labs assignments and text material. The problem with cisco is that companies will not hire you if your not CCNA or CCNP cert. Devry does not get you certified, it only prepares you for the cert. As far as price goes, yes its pricey compared to ordinary state universities, but dont forget, DeVry is out for profit. However, i do feel though that if you want to learn about computers; whether its networking, programming or electrical engineering, next to MIT (ivy league), and maybe a few other IT schools, devry is the likely choice . bottom line: School teaches you how to think and what you do in class and out of class can make a big difference. In class, you gather and retain the information, but the real hard work and sweat is what you do out of class.
