what has happened in California is a lot of ex-students that never finished the program complained to the Department of Consumer Affairs, and I think there has also been a few lawsuits filed, although I'm not positive about that. Now students have to sign a document called "Things to Know and Consider." I didn't get it until qualifiers, so of course I wasn't about to quit then.

The public school I went to was much more honest than the private school. I think two to five years is a reasonable estimate if you are putting the time in on the machine. The private school I started at stopped charging after three years, which probably has a lot to do with why they went out of business. If you can find a public school, do it. I know plenty of women $20,000 in debt who never became reporters.<br />

But you can do it if you put in the time. You need to be on that machine five hours a day to do it in a shorter amount of time. I went to Alfred State and th…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2008-04-17:1736041:Comment:574162008-04-17T23:27:37.251ZRhoda Collinshttps://csrnation.ning.com/profile/RhodaCollins
I went to Alfred State and they are up front. 2-5 years, it can take. 80% drop out there. BUT the only way you fail is to quit! :)<br />
<br />
The ratio does not really take into account the ones who take longer than 5! I know some who did graduate and are working after that long. Mostly if they had a hectic life along with school,, less time to practice. Your practice habits are VERY key to when you graduate. And some 'do' have a natural ability. But practice is 'key' IMHO.<br />

<br />
You are in a 'class'...I believe some schools have a limit as to how many times you can 'take' a class, whatever your degree program....but you should have to pay, I think, as you are taking the 'time' with teachers/etc same as other students.<br />
<br />
I repeated one machine class three times (the next to the last one). Yup, paid. I was not practicing 'as' hard for it tho, so I know it was 'me' who was at fault; hence I paid for it, lol. But then got stubborn and wanted to get out. Focused on 'my' writing and not so much finding briefs and shortcuts and buckled down again and went thru my theory again, WHILE taking classes.<br />
<br />
If a person wants this bad enough, I think they can get it. :)<br />
