Teachers will employ methods like that in the first semester to weed out the ones who won't make it through the program. Remember that some others around you are probrably in the same boat but may not have the love for the field so thats $20k down the drain unless they call it quits early enough to get some of that money back. My chef program had nearly 5000 students, 1/3 dropped out by end of the first semeseter, another 1/3 made it through and graduated, and maybe only 1/2 of those graduates actually got jobs in the industry.
A pretty small number when you do the math eh! At least you know this is what you want to do so stay strong. |
