^^^THIS!

I wound up paying for private school upfront (credit card) but the schools I called all had guaranteed financing and didn't start billing you until 30 days after graduation so you would already be working. Something to think about.

That credit card thing would hurt BUT IIRC some card will give you a year to switch balance over? Ifso then your looking at a pretty decent deal IF you can get it paid, even with all the interest I think that would still be better than company paid training!
