I for one, knew there was shady business going on from day one. Whomever claims otherwise is either the most naive person in the world, or had their CCI blinders on. I performed unethical tasks on a daily basis knowing exactly what I was doing. Did I care? At first a little bit. However, as time progressed I did it for the paycheck. As I got promoted, I made more money than ever before in my life. If many of you in here made as much as I did, you would of done the same. So what I put a few bottom-feeders into an overpriced education system. Occasionally, one of those bottom feeders would actually make it through his/her program and surprise us all. I considered those people as "evening things out." Let's be real, in a world where natural selection won out, these bottom-feeders wouldn't even be here. I'm just taking advantage of a society that halts natural selection. If you were a part of CCI, you are just as guilty as me. If you were seriously naive enough to think otherwise, then I would like to talk to you about an awesome educational experience that basically gives you free money.

As an instructor at Heald I can say I'm proud of the time and effort I put into teaching students who probably couldn't last at a community college without the additional help and resources that come with a private college. Hundreds of students thank me everyday for my patience, teaching abilities, and caring attitude toward their education.
Do you feel better Jack?
OP, you're an ass! You can take that "oh well" attitude and stick it up your ass! There are many of us who did nothing illegal or unethical, but because of f***tards like you talking about how we'd do the same if we knew how much money you were making makes me want to....well, I'll stop here.
Good for you OP!
You are a gross individual and a scammer!
And now we are all out of a job - even those of us that knew better than to get involved with unethical practices.
I'm not sure graduation rate is the best metric. If the diploma is only an indication of having attended a school because said school has a policy of passing all students, then graduation rates are going to be higher than at more challenging programs. Even ignoring that, Heald's success rate is lower than at community colleges. Heald's right to know statement: http://www.heald.edu/multimedia/pdfs/SD-SR2K-HLD.pdf.

My experience with community college was an hour search for a parking spot every morning and classes with twice as many students as there should have been. Community colleges have even worse graduation rates than for-profits, but at least the debt load is usually not as much.
Hope that person watched the movie "Get Hard" cause you belong there.
My experience with community college includes getting to study Japanese with native speakers for an unbelievably low price. I'm a fan. I know many people who have started in community college and ended up graduating from UC. They're great places. And you know what? Local hospitals hire community college trained medical assistants who earn a certificate in eight months.
then I would like to talk to you about an awesome educational experience that basically gives you free money.
So a community college then?
Made more money than ever in your life? I doubt it.
Omg an honest post
