- Southwest Career College is alright, its all up to you how much you want to learn and if you take it seriously.. you can take it as a joke .... or take it seriously learn and apply yourself and work with the school and they will help you find a job. ALTHOUGH when I started at SWCC they told us at orientation that everyone would get an ipad not right away but by the end we would have one...then they said only associate degrees would receive them... then it was only business degrees. The girl In the commercial WORKS IN THE FINANCIAL AID department... I don't know if she ever attended SWCC but she works there. Half the instructors have accents sometimes its hard to understand them. Some instructors don't take classes seriously others will. Like I said it's up to you. You can find a job just be GOOD and make sure you have LEARNED! I have not had luck finding work :P and I am approx 11,000 dollars in debt.
