<p>I was reading on these technical schools online one that I found was the institute of audio research. It has a 900-hour program that exposes students to every facet of modern recording technology. While it claims to do this the tuition is $16,000 per year.</p>
<p>1.Whats the deal with these technical schools and why do people decide to go there?</p>
<p>2.Is there a greater benefit than going there than a community college?</p>

<li><p>I know at a community college they waste all of your time taking these crappy classes at the beginning that you don't even need is this the case in technical schools as well?</p></li>
<li><p>Why is it so expensive and is it even worth it?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I went to a now defunct technical school about a decade ago for computer information systems. I decided to go there because my uncle went there and got a good paying job after he finished. I think the benefit a lot of people see about going to technical schools is that a lot of them are accelerated. You get in, you finish the program, and you’re done faster than going to a traditional college. This is also why a lot of them are expensive besides the fact that they are “for profit” schools. It’s worth it if you want to go to school and finish quickly.</p>
<p>The thing that many technical schools don’t tell you, however, is that their credits most likely won’t transfer if you decide to go to a traditional college/university later in life. I’m starting over right now at a community college and I have to start from scratch.</p>
