After graduating with my very expensive accounting degree, I could not even find a minimum wage job, much less any job remotely related to accounting. I did not have a job at the time I graduated, and my only source of income was $485.00 from my tenant.

I even applied for a paper route and low-paying jobs like store clerk. Finally, 2 1/2 years later, I got a position working as an accounting assistant. I later found out that this was one of the lowest paying jobs in the department in which I worked. Out of approximately 300 employees, there were maybe 2 or 3 who made less money than I did.

In addition, the job required absolutely no skills beyond what could acquired in high school. As my job search dragged on without success, I finally realized that I would have better results had I gone to brick and mortar school rather than a rip-off predatory institution like AIU. You can't get a job because employers know the degrees are worthless. When I called AIU to complain, the counselor tried to talk me into re-enrolling at AIU to get a Master's degree in accounting.

All job seekers and students should beware of all of these predatory institutions. They should be required to inform all prospective students that they are for-profit and that their shareholder's interests will always come before the interests of students. This warning should come with every verbal and written communication with the school. In addition, I found out later that AIU had accreditation issues in the past, but of course I was never informed of this.

If a school ever loses its accreditation, it should be required to inform current and prospective students. AIU is a scam and rip-off.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $30000.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

American Intercontinental University Cons: Quality of the education.

Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
