[Nfbc-info] Question Regarding Possible Trade School OfInterest, Heald College

Thu Feb 2 19:37:49 UTC 2012

Why give your money to a private school?  Their certifications are
questionable at best.  Go community college and then transfer to a state
university for a BA.

Oh well I really don't want to go back to DVC. How about Western Career
College, actually now it is called Carington College think it is in Pleasant
Hill or Walnut Creek.
