<prompt> Human: Currently employed with a full-time job, but I really want to and need to go to college to get an education so I can get a job I would actually enjoy. I know tuition is high for the school, but I was thinking maybe the people here could give some advice so I could start getting onto the path of life I really want to take.  <response>: My mom was a professor at a for profit school similar to Full Sail. She says even the professors all know its a scam. Students get A grades with papers that would have gotten Fs in middle school no punctuation, elementary school type grammar, students that literally have never learned about paragraphs, quotation marks, etc. Shes required to pass a ridiculously high number of students so that they can keep being profited off of, even if they should have failed traditional college classes. Apparently the success after graduation statistics are skewed and misleading, and the professors are well aware that no employer will take a for profit degree seriously. My dad has worked in the hiring process for a couple companies and agrees. At both companies recruiters tended to throw away applications from people with degrees from for profit schools because it demonstrates lack of good decision making abilities and is not actually indicative of education. My advice? Run as fast as you possibly can. Get a transferable Associates degree from a community college and then transfer to a 4 year nonprofit university. There are evening classes available at community colleges as well as 4 year universities, so look into those instead!
