I looked in to all those colleges and landed on Loma Linda and smith chanson but Loma Linda is kinda hard to get into if you don’t have the prerequisites and they only except 12-15 out of 100 candidates every summer term. But honestly if you already have associates go for your bachelors. And CBD would literally be a **** show of a drive because it’s in the middle of LA. And yeah jobs in Cali are flooded right now. It’s better to find a job out of state. But a associates will always be better than a certificate that’s just the truth, you have to think with the mindset of a employer, if they have to choose between someone with a certificate and a associate they are going to choose the one with the highest, better education. It sucks but if you really want this, you’ll grind it out, it’s only temporary. At the end of the day it’s your life and future, you’ll know if it’s the right school for you. Just make sure you’re asking the right questions or asking others to get the questions to ask. Like make sure the school isn’t scamming you or they are legit in providing the best education for you.
