I just wanted to pop in here to say that Washburn is a great school for working in Kansas, but you have to be prepared to hustle, and hustle hard. Kansas is a VERY insular market, and your main target markets are going to be Wichita, who's employers will be skeptical of you if you didn't graduate undergrad from Wichita State, Kansas City, who will be skeptical if you didn't go to KU, and Rural Kansas, who will be skeptical if you didn't go to K - State. I'm born and raised in Wichita, and have many friends who graduated from Washburn, including the best man at my wedding. Most make $40-50k, which is a good living in Kansas, but not if you have huge debt. Once again, Washburn is a great school, and a great option, if you take very very little debt, and are happy to hustle and spend your life in Kansas.
