Hi Sara,
Even if you did get carried away a bit it is ok. This is a common problem on all levels as you explained. This is something that the career college industry is going to have to look at very hard if it is to continue on the success trail it wants to follow. Better pre-assessments and then more accurate placement is a must. Students need career counseling that will enable them to make meaningful, realistic and informed career choices. If not then everyone, students, faculty and their families are going to suffer from their failures.
