WTFebruary.

Okay, so we are on the home stretch on this broker's license class - Thursday class, Tuesday Exam, and done, in theory. Thursday's class may be screwed by snow. And then, today, the news - the school is closing (or being sold, or whatever) following the conclusion of our class. We signed on with "We're with you until you pass the state exam!" contractual promises, but, um, perhaps not? I'm not too worried for ME, because I think I can fake my way through this without too much trouble, but a lot of people are really struggling, and now they are basically SOL.

I do love the earnest "That's Not Right"-ness of the Smart Businessmen my age in the class, who proceeded to bluster about what can we do about this? I listened for a bit and then pointed out that we were out the cost of the licensing class if we didn't pass on the first go-round, and per the contract if they canceled a class they were liable for fees, so in this scenario they'd be liable for the cost of the class at worst. They are providing the required class hours, so if they are shutting down and have no way to provide the guarantees of following up with future help, I'm betting that they'd write you a check for your fee to be done with you if you flunk out. The Smart Businessmen Harrumphed, but didn't argue. It's so cute how they really believe in their fantasy world of How It's Supposed to Be.

As I said, I don't think this will affect me much - I'll study my ass off and get through the class test, and go on my way. It's an inconvenience, because I really was planning to take my post-license required classes at this same convenient location, and now, not happening. That's a pain, but whatever. I have other things in the works, and just keep those good vibes coming. But this is still shaping up to be WTFebruary.
