Universities are really no more than all-inclusive 4 year luxury resorts for kids these days (have you seen a typical university cafeteria or dorm room or fitness center these days  ) They should offer a money-back guarantee that work's like this: I will give you back my 4-year degree that hasn't gotten me the career you promised, and you can erase all record of it and just return my 4 year's worth of tuition in full and we'll all walk away happy  |
that 95% placement a lot of times is the kids working for the schools- for minimum wage.... That's how that # is rigged.
