Can For-Profit Tech Colleges Be Trusted?

snydeq found a story questioning "the quality of education on offer at institutions such as University of Phoenix, DeVry, ITT Tech, and Kaplan in the wake of increasing scrutiny for alleged deceptive practices [PDF] that leave students in high debt for jobs that pay little. 'For-profit schools carry a stigma in some eyes because of their reputation for hard sales pitches, aggressive marketing tactics, and saddling students with big loans for dubious degrees or certificates,' Robert Scheier writes. 'Should IT pros looking to increase their skills, or people seeking to enter the IT profession, consider such for-profit schools? And should employers trust their graduates' skills?'"

Reading comprehension

those who receive a "free" education seldom appreciate it as much as the one who had to earn (and pay for) that education.

I didn't say they weren't appreciative. Especially for those who could not have paid in the first place. I said those who have to work for it know how hard it was and appreciate it more.

Please save your backhanded insults for more deserving targets.

Thank you,
