Hi. Former admissions person again. How many of you got RIF-ed? I used to feel bad for the employees, but have realized they make their own decisions. Even after two quarters, unless someone has their "head in the sand" they should understand their employer and its fraudulent way of operating. These aren't teenagers making decisions. Do your homework before investing time into your career. A for-profit college career is overrated in 2017.

I used to feel sorry for the students but have realized that they make their own decisions. Yes, Admissions makes it all sound good but ultimately they don't make that student sign up. Even after 2 quarters unless someone has their "head in the sand" they should understand their field of study. These aren't teenagers making decisions. Do your homework before making an investment in your future. A 4 year degree is over rated in 2017

I worked in admissions and quit because of the way I was being forced to recruit and creatively mislead students on the reality of what to expect at the campus and in their career prospects. But, keep thinking that the students are at fault. It doesn't matter because you will also be out of a job soon enough. I am happy I left.

Just like indoctrinating every other fool just like you! Want something for nothing entitlement baby. Welcome to the real world. These non for profit schools get the same funding as for profit, with one minor difference, non profit = union low life.

No inflated career stats at our school just immature students that think they will be the next "star". They are directed to the stats but don't pay attention. You made the decision and it sounds like it wasn't a wise one. Most often this lack of assessment is not the first mistake you have made.

This should have happened years ago to stop the student and loan rapine and spare the waste of taxpayer dollars and lives.

If Trump goes ahead with his plans to de-fund the DOE, then none of this will make any difference anyway. The money won't be there for student loans at any level. Remember, Republicans don't believe in education for the masses.

So much for making America great again.

Actually, the schools show inflated career stats and lies are the modus operandi. You sound like a soulless corporate shill and I will pray for you.

You made the choice and could have gone to a community college or trade school. My guess is you liked playing video games alone in your bedroom so you decided to study game art. No one forces anyone to sign up and ample resources are given to learn what you got yourself into.
