<prompt> Human: My father recently told me he wants to enroll at Cal Southern University. He mentioned it was for-profit and I told him what are you doing, go to a real school. He is doing it to satisfy his credential continuing Ed requirements, he said it was cheaper and he has no illusions that hell finish the program. He also mentioned he was feeling like he was falling behind and wanted to take the classes to get a little bit of his edge back. Is he making a mistake here? Im always hesitant when I hear for-profit college.Edit: Hes a licensed psychoanalystmental health counselor and needs a certain amount to continuing education to keep his credential each year.  <response>: Taking classes at a for profit school to maintain a professional licenses continuing educationce requirement is not a big deal. As long as the licensing board certifies the course and it is not more expensive than taking the course elswhere he is fine. For profit schools do a good job at filling ce requirements on flexible schedules, you just have to be careful because some change an arm and a leg for classes.Now if he was trying to get a degree that would be a different story because often employers recognize these schools as diploma mills and move your resume to the bottom of the pile if you get your degree from one.
