What should I shoot for from an offer of The Art Institute of Salt Lake?

I should be getting an offer tomorrow for a financial aid officer position. For negotiating purposes, what range should I expect? I have not worked as a financial aid officer but I have some experience as a loan manager for a bank and have a bachelor's degree in economics and marketing.What should I shoot for from an offer of The Art Institute of Salt Lake?
If its one of the Art Institutes run by EDMC (all of them that use the

AI logo), avoid them like a plague. They're not an art school

employers take seriously. They're open enrollment, they take ANYONE.

They just want the financial aid from the government that you are

entitled to.



If you ask me, they're an elaborate corporate scam to funnel as many

Government Pell grants and guaranteed loans out of students as they

can and leave the students with the bill.



They're like McDonald's of Art "Colleges". They're a chain that is

popping up everywhere. They buy out dying schools, rename them, keep

the accreditation.



They may seem like they would be good, but it is all smoke and

mirrors. Pretty building with pretty computers. Meanwhile, it will

just ruin your life.



The market demand they say they're meeting is not the demand of the

Job market, its the demand of the students. Students that graduated AI

are struggling to get jobs and have over more than $50,000+ or

$90,000+ in debt depending on what degree they went for. Degrees that

are worthless in the job market.



Basically, AI is a degree mill. They use bloated success stats and

circle logic to back them up.



They count students working at Toys R Us as in the field. Avoid them

if you want to actually have a decent future.



If you really want to pursue your passion, go to a community college,

study fine art, and then transfer into a state school. It will be

cheaper and the money you save you can buy your own equipment and

STILL have money left over for a better future.



Their job leads are bogus, they go to Monster, Craigslist, and career

builder just like everyone else. Their top employer is HOME DEPOT

(Check their own website) and I guarantee none of those are art jobs.



Don't make the same mistake my friends and I did. We'll be paying for

it for the rest of our lives.



If you go with AI you'll be folding clothes at Target or hawking video

games at Toys R Us for $8.25 an hour and struggling to pay $90,000+

with bill collectors haunting your every waking moment for the REST OF

YOUR LIFE with no way to stop them because there is no bankruptcy

protection on Student loans.

Please please please make sure you check out these news articles

below. Many are accounts from students, staff, and teachers of AI.

What you do with this information is your choice, I just want to make

sure you know everything before listening to one of their recruiters

sales pitch. Remember, they're paid sales people. Not your friend.

College may be expensive but what these guys are pulling is straight

out highway robbery.





Check the news today, EDMC is being investigated by the Department of Justice for illegally rewarding their recruiters.

I'm looking to get into kickboxing. Where would I start in Salt Lake City?

I'm a complete novice and have never taken a kick boxing class in my life, but I would really like to get into something that would not only be health-promoting, but practical in self defense. I want something not too expensive that I can do up to three times a week. I don't care about competitions. I'm doing this to be healthy and confident.I'm looking to get into kickboxing. Where would I start in Salt Lake City?
If you want something that's practical for self-defense and is health promoting, you may want to look up the Wing Chun Hall in Midvale.



Not to knock kickboxing...but a sport style, while good for defense, simply isn't a combat style and Wing Chun is purely combat when studied seriously. Believe me, it's a workout too.



I know you can try a class or two for free and they have classes nearly every day.

If you find something that you like better and you feel fits you...go for that, but I would recommend at least trying it out.





Good luck and I hope you find something that you not only enjoy but is great for defense!
