'For-Profit' Education is a Good Thing

A new national poll shows strong support for 'for-profit' education in this economic decline.

1,000 adults were surveyed, with oversamples of 500 African American, 500 Latino, and 250 lower-income whites.

They say 'for-profit education empowers minority groups, and does not hinder them. People believe higher education is more critical now than ever to get ahead and support for-profit education as a way to make Obama's goal of increasing college graduates possible.'

I don't think Obama has done anything to make it easier for people to attend college, other than telling them to get off their butt and do it. Maybe a boot in the rear end was needed.

The concept is simple - create a business plan, perhaps on the back of a napkin. Create a website, usually a blog, add really great graphics, then publicize it - they used the MyPRClub.com press release service. Then monetize it and give good content and great service.

I think it needs more work, but it is a good start.
