So I guess I'll be stuck as a wannabe engineer. You wouldn't believe how, just in the associates level, many people died off. .33 - .5 of the beginning of the class died off. It was too hard for them.

I don't plan on just studying that. I have a real thing for programming. Which I interacted during the EET course. I plan on mastering C++ on the side after taking this course on C programming I'm in the middle of. I have the full "C++ for Dummies." Maybe after I get on my feet I'll actually go for a degree on programming.Get a decent job and go to night school, cause there's nothing more pathetic than an old technician

EET has a good name in the industry. Don't let these "real college" guys get you down. I graduated from DeVry Columbus, and I have a decent job. It's all about experience and how well you interview. I know many many CS guys from "real" schools who are still looking for work, whereas me and all my friends from DeVry already have good jobs.
There are some companies who look for DeVry grads first.
I love how "real" engineers talk down about DeVry, because they like to think of themselves as elitists. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering Technology before I was 21. Devry has more labs and technical classes for your major, than a traditional school.
Morals of the story:
1. DeVry gets a bad wrap.
2. People from traditional schools have no clue.
3. You will get a good job.
