Student turns to stripping because of GS
I know there is already a lot of grief on this site for students taking out huge loans for low-potential careers, but I think this BusinessWeek article stands on its own, at least in the comedy department.

The featured girl went to a for-profit college in Florida and earned a bachelor's in Game Art and Design. After her studies concluded, the best she could get was a job making $12/hour. Later, she was laid off when her department was shut down.
Now, she's stripping. And blaming her school for allegedly tricking her into a worthless degree. The article also ties in the fact that Goldman owns a 38% stake in the school's parent company. The subtitle reads "Goldman Sachs made millions through its stake in EDMC, whose schools peddle arts degrees costing up to $100,000."
The girl was drawn to the college by a pop-up ad on her computer and shelled out $70,000 for her game art degree (well actually her parents paid for it all). But BusinessWeek still jumped on it for a story. Go figure...
You mean I can spend 1/4th the money, 1/4th the time and still get that high paying job at the strip club!!!!!!? Sign me up. For-profit colleges are such a joke.
She should have studied for an AA in stripping...it would make her more per lap dance and would increase her ROI
holy shit liverp00l, you just gave me a new idea! a for profit adult-service technical college... (no joke)
whole new meaning to the post of "department head".
You're behind the curve my friend.
Your numbers would be crazy. 100% employment rate with innnsssaaane graduating salaries. This would blow most MBA programs out of the water.
The program could be spent getting the girls in shape, teaching them make-up skills and then obviously instructing how to dance with a pole.
i'm happy for her that she had enough dignity not to settle for a job at burger king or mcdonalds after getting laid off
Well played sir
@BluesHill haha
-This video shows more stories of pathetic people that majored in X, Y, and Z, and now are 100K in debt.
-Also, it says that the bottom 40% of a high school class would not graduate college.
Holy shit, this bitch chose a college from a pop up ad. Get fucked

Her degree was financed by her parents' credit card, something that ultimately became a burden for her parents. After not being able to get a gig making games, Howard worked as a recruiter in the game industry until that dried up.
wtf
