I went to XXXX in XXXX with hopes of starting a brighter future and while I was finally able to land a job in the XXXX they almost laughed during my interview when I told them I went to XXXX. My personal experience and own certifications landed me a job not the " education '' received at XXXX. What 's worse even though I was told I could later continue my education at another University I later found out that these credits were non-transferable! So everything they promised and told me and everything they " did n't '' tell me has hurt me and not helps. Also, thanks to Peaks private loans I started with a balance of {$21000.00} in private loans ( not to mention federal ) I have paid well over {$8000.00} and somehow still owe {$20000.00}. I feel ripped off and now feel like prisoner to debt.
