Hi, sorry yeah, I hope I'm not misunderstood here. I comment general facts, experiences, observations, etc... with the goal of having productive discourse instead of anecdotal experiences expressed as universal facts. But 1-1 I switch hats and really try to figure out what's right for you. Maybe send me a DM because I have more questions about location, timeframe etc... which I can't ask publicly on Reddit haha. Generally speaking, I hear a lot of hit and miss VETEC programs because these programs get a lot of money and have to check off certain boxes to maintain good standing, but they don't really have the same incentives to train you well or place you that they do when you are paying a lot out of pocket.
