For-Profit School Benefits

When it comes to for-profit colleges many students end up being in $50,000 to even a hundred-thousand dollars in debt; making it harder by the day to find a good job-placement after becoming a graduate. The cost of attending a for-profit school is just much, as attending a ivy-league school, if not more. With most of these colleges having open enrollment, this allows the Government to take more/ have access to more money. In my opinion, it’s almost a trap in order to lure students into thinking you have to spend more money to pursue your dreams. Pressuring students into thinking (vulnerably) that if they are unable to find jobs to pay off all of these debts, one must work between disposable incomes disregarding what is already coming out
However, this does not mean that the most expensive schools are necessarily the best. In fact, for profit schools seem to be frowned upon by employers. They don't all offer the same kinds of courses as not for profit and for a profit school can end up costing you more than just a hefty price increase. So it makes no sense to spend all this extra money when you can get the same education for less than half the cost… It is also much more logical to stay in the state where you live. Locals get high discounts to attend while students that live elsewhere get charged a big fee, banking on the name of the school and hoping people will be willing to pay for it. The best strategy for picking a college is to do research on companies you'd be applying to upon Graduation, see what schools the new higher attended, what fields they were in, and then find a local school or not for profit school that offer the same or very similar curriculum, and get a competitive edge over the other applicants for cheaper. Now if you're lucky enough to get into an ivy league school, that's one thing, but if not you'd be doing your wallet a big favor in the long
