We see this post so often, and the reply seems like a duplicate too. Perchance might this be ad placement? Or am I just too old and cynical?

Just saw this post in the California Nursing forum. Strangely enough, all of the WCU hopefuls have ignored it with the hope that they will somehow avoid fates that are common to many graduates.

Source: Best friend graduated from WCU and is employed paying off debt in 6 years $2,100 a month. As for his fellow classmates who can't even find work in a snf, their loan is already up to $170,000 and rising because of interest.
GL, please think about where your finances are 5 years ahead of time before deciding on something like this.
