     A friend of mine is looing for a career change.  He's thinking
     computer training at DeVry.  They claim he can get a tech degree
     in 20 months, and he'll get immediate job placement.  He's
     concerned, of course, that this is a slick sales job.

     Does anyone know any DeVry grads?  What's the take on the place?

I graduated from Devry in 1976 with a technical certificate.
Back then they also boasted of immediate job placement and
at the time I think 90%+ did find a job of some kind right
away.  Devry was good about bringing in many companies to
interview graduates.  I was able to find a job as a technician
in telecommunications right after graduation.
The bad points of going there for me
was the high cost and more importantly I wasn't able to 
transfer any courses, except one, to a regular 4 year college.
So, I had to start over to earn a bachelor's degree.
For that reason I wouldn't recommend Devry as I know it.
I would suggest that your friend get a list of courses he's
going to take and confirm what does and doesn't transfer
to a 4 year school.

DeVry is now a 4 Year acredited school, and apon graduation you leave with a
4-year degree.
