For-Profit Higher Education Crackdown

[BmorePat87]

I was offered a job at ITT before I worked in schools. What was described to me as being an "academic advisor" position was in reality a sales position. My job was to find people to come to the school, have them give me leads (friends or family who want to further their education), and get them to come back year after year.

I then saw their wall of success. So many Geek Squad agents. I was working at Best Buy at the time and knew that you didn't need schooling to work for Geek Squad.

It's all a scam.

On the other hand, I used Phoenix to get two classes out of the way for certification at work. They were actual undergrad classes for a good price. Their advisors weren't trying to get me to sign up for as many classes as possible. Good experience.
