colleges are the next starbucks!!!

when investors become part of academia this is when life gets a bit scary.if you thought you were just a series of numbers before....you definitely are now. business is all around us, but damn who knew it would even be in a place where we can learn about it. With predictions of the stock market crashing many investors must have thought ahead and attempted to find a new way to profit from the everyday life around us. for profit (or what i like to call for their profit) schools have become one of the latest trends in academia mainly due to the many campuses they have. these schools focus on convenience alternatives to the conventional structure of universities. the convenience alternatives are the marketing schemes chairmen of these schools use for profit (no pun intended lol). one thing i found chilling is they use more marketing dollars that companies like tide, Revlon and Fed ex.

with this much money involved there are definitely millions of students behind these schools in support. when i was in high school we would get visits from a lot of these schools but no one really took interest. these schools just all seemed too good to be true.

when an academic institution of any kind spends more marketing dollars that a company that sells laundry detergent should'nt that be alarming? last time i checked people mostly chose where they wanted to further their education based on their intellectual level, athletic talents, artistic skills, etc on the level of prestige the school has earned.
