They really are the worst, they prey on people and make them think that going to their crappy school will result in actually getting something. The thing is to in my city we have a really good college that offers the same programs but obviously better which makes it even harder to find something after the fact. Like not only does your diploma pretty much suck but you have to compete against people who went to the good college for jobs. It's just not going to happen.

Something interesting I found yesterday was 54% of borrowers said that if they could do it over they may have made different college choices. It would be interesting to find out how many of those students went to these for profit colleges.
