You have the same chance of getting a job from applying right off the street as you would spending thousands of dollars on a highly specialized education.

As 68dart told you, there is absolutely NO advantage with a CTI degree.

I suggest picking up a stack of loan papers and have your son fill them out to pay for the entire amount of the CTI school and see if he is really that interested in it then.

I can understand spending 100K+ in an education to become a doctor but not a $32K/yr starting salary public servant.

Thank You for the input, they always choose whatever costs their parents the most. I am curious as to percentage of new hires out of CTI, and how good is their training vs air force.
