Good find AJ. Thanks. A timely article. It amazes me how they continually say 'for the public good' and it never is.

I have been doing my research for the last week and I am going to enroll in one of these career colleges and get a certification in small engine repair, and I was thinking of small appliance repair after that. Both very useful skills.

The trades skills schools have been an honorable part of the education array for a very long time.
The private "for profit" colleges are somewhat newer to the scene. They have developed a notorious reputation for taking advantage of those more vulnerable populations. They have a notorious reputation for being more expensive than the traditional colleges. Some of them have been prosecuted over financial irregularities.
this article and the FACT BOOK" are out of a questionable "private" foundation

My university is not a for-profit, nor is it a "career college". Florida Tech is a private university geared toward scientists and engineers. We have definitely seen an effect of Obama's nationalization of all student loans under Sallie Mae. They are trying to use this as a backdoor tool to control us by saying that, if our students don't pay back their loan debt, that the government will come after us to collect it.
