"I saw smart students questioning what they’d gotten themselves into, and I saw struggling students who truly wanted to learn but couldn’t in the environment provided. I saw Iraq War vets using the G.I. Bill for an education that would get them nowhere. Regardless, any student who could make it to graduation exited with a meaningless piece of paper and often little skill. All of these students were taken in by a company with a lot of money, fancy equipment, and a flashy website. Some days, it seemed like nobody got it. We were making our money on the backs of mostly underprivileged and undereducated students. We used their farfetched dreams to capture them in a net that would destroy them with a fake degree and debt. Later, I’d see graduates working at the local liquor store or a chain restaurant. Reality would find them, and those dreams would be long gone." The Rumpus
