Ok. Lets look at this for a minute. A poor person has two choices: A traditional college and an online college. If the person has to work, or if they have been out of high school for a while and has family responsibilities, for-profit schools generally seem to be more flexible, especially the ones that are mostly online. You don't have to worry about missing class if kids are sick and you don't have to worry about your work hours getting cut because you have to go to class. Heck, some people lose jobs because the jobs aren't flexible enough for school or don't go to school because of their job. It winds up feeling like the colleges cater only to a traditional student - young, without a family, and not needing to work anything but a part-time job - but this doesn't reflect the reality some folks are facing. It isn't a financial decision whatsoever: It might be if they had to pay a little bit upfront, but that would be enough to keep some folks from going: I'm not sure this is an improvement or not.
