[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly feel sympathy for people with degrees from the University of Phoenix. It's mostly poorer folks who really didn't know any better. Now the information is readily available, but this wasn't always the case. After having worked so hard to put myself through school, I would be devastated to find out that most people regard it as a joke.  [/quote]

my sister in law is 50,000 grand in debt for Phoenix (she did graduate).  No one in her family had gone to college (except my husband) so there was no one to advise her.  I tried, but I lived to far away and she was so enthusiastic about it (still is).  It is heartbreaking what those for profit schools do.

I come from a long line of professors (dad, both gandfathers) who went to and taught at second-tier state colleges (well, one ended up teaching at an IVY because his scholarship made him famous in his field).  These are good schools full of smart people.  I'd never in a million years look down on anyone for going to these schools. [/quote]
