There are actually many employers that won't even look at resumes or CV's from some of the for-profit schools. It is actually very sad for the students who sometimes don't even know what they are getting into....

It is very sad that many employers have to throw out applications, CV's or resumes.....I am very leary now of the for profit schools. I have many students that have been out for some time and still can't find jobs....

I hate to say it but I have provided information to students about other opportunities that guide them AWAY from the for profit institutions. I feel that they just using the students to bring in money and not providing a valuable education to help the work force. I don't feel that the students are given the true picture of what is out there with their loans and such following completion as well as job opportunities because of where they go to school. Rebecca

My concern with the for profit schools is not necessarily the number of nurses and such that are out there, but how much they are charging those poor students for some that are on fixed incomes or don't even work. I have had many students that are pursing a second career and could not afford to pay such a large fee. Some of the tuition is more for an Associate Degree than the doctorate I am pursuing.

I am currently a full time faculty member at a big University's satellite campus and I am not on campus 40 hours a week...things are done by contact hours. I do a lot of work from home, but also have clinical time. Flexibility is awesome! Rebecca
