The Salespeople at My Former Employer Lied to Prospective Students
#3
I'm glad the headline reads "former", sounds like a good place to leave. With that said it's hardly different than any number of "career" schools I see locally. I will never understand why students pick these places over the much better thought of, and generally much cheaper CC solution. It seems students lack the capacity for even the most basic vetting of the institution.

I wouldn't hang the responsibility for this on the neck of the career counselor either, they are generally as dumb to the realities of the workforce as the students they end up fleecing. But end of the day these are grown adults that need to assess their situation better.

I wouldn't be ashamed of your association, but I would use your experience as a stepping stone to better things at places where you can have a greater impact. I'm sure you have a lot to offer students at the right school!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
