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.
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

-Also, it says that the bottom 40% of a high school class would not graduate college.

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
