BOREDRT in Montebello, California

4 months ago

I was looking through job openings in Califronia on Indeed when I came across a position for a RT program director at Devry University; which means there will be yet another RT program in CA. As it is southern California has 16 RT programs. There are about 1,100 new Rt's just in Southern CA being pumped out every year from these schools. The job market is horrible here, so where are all these people going to work? Not to mention the salaries of current RT's will stay stagnant as the market is now over saturated. School break down:
American Career College is enrolling 50 students per class; currently Ontario and Anaheim have students enrolled with their first classes graduating early next year. They will graduate 3 classes a year; these two schools alone will graduate 300 students every year. ACC in LA is in the works also; so add on another 150 students.
Concorde has 4 programs in Souther CA; Hollywood, San Bernadino, Garden Grove and San Diego. They produce around 100 students a year per school (25 per class; 4 classes graduate per year). So thats 400.
SJVC only has one in Southern CA; they produce around 100 new students a year.
The community colleges range from 25-50 stduents per class, but only graduate one class per year. MtSAC, ELAC, OCC, Crafton Hills, LAVC, El Camino, Loma Linda (AS, BS programs), Victorville, CCSD- about 300 students per year.
Then there is that online school is San Diego, not sure how many graduate from there. There are several other programs in the works at Platt college and Antelope Valley.

I think it is irresponsible of Coarc to keep approving these programs and even allowing them a letter of review. This oversaturation affects all RT's in Southern CA; in 2010 we are going to have almost 1500 new RT's being produced every year looking for positions that are not there; the nice raises we were getting these last 10 years as RT's have slowed and will eventually stop.
