My girlfriend attends a for profit school (because her employer covers it 100%), it's absolutely alarming how stunningly expensive these for profit schools are. As a comparison, the state school that I attend, even with over-priced books, sets me back about $1200/semester, and that's for 3 classes. A single class for her is billed at that same amount. Before books. I don't know how anyone would look at the cost and their future earning potential and decide that paying for a for-profit is a good idea. I know people who have gone the that Full Sail program and ended up 100+k in debt, and with nothing useful to show for it. Education in this country is in a terrible, terrible state.
