For-Profit Colleges: Good Choice or Bane of the Education World?

[Tedium]

IrishJohn would know more about it than me. I will say that APU is the only for-profit I would honestly ever consider. You just don't hear the same horror stories coming out of that school, and from all accounts they actually give you an education, rather than just saddle you with busy work like some other programs. And they are pretty well-known for their history programs.

I don't think having a degree from APU would put you at much of a disadvantage. I took a leisure learning creative writing course recently that was taught by an MFA student who had basically all but gone to graduation. You know what her plans are? She is going back home to live with her parents for a while. It's not like she went to DeVry or anything. The MFA program at the university in my city is like #22 in the nation and she graduated with an MA and an MFA, which is a terminal degree.

The job market is hard nowadays, regardless of where you got your degree. You are going to have to work hard regardless.
