Northeastern University is not so great. I was able to acquire my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with a 3.8 GPA. I did this while working full time/traveling for work. I put a lot of work into this degree but now I feel I was not properly prepared for the real world of IT. There should have been some Microsoft or Cisco certificates included with degree. All IT jobs want several years of experience but I thought a degree from NEU would get my foot in the door somewhere. Since graduating 6/2014 I have been on many job interviews but I have not been able to land a job in the server world of IT. Today I'm making slightly more money than when I did not have a degree. I'd love to continue my education but I can't because of my student loans. Looking back I think it would have made more sense to acquire IT industry certificates like Microsoft, Cisco, and Linux. Plus it would have cost a lot less than a degree from NEU.
