Not all the for-profits are evil. Some, most even, yes, but some serve a needed purpose. If you're daughter is considering a for-profit, it likely means she's not in the demographic to be able to attend the schools you would want her to, and the for-profit route may be her best option. Not all our daughters can go to Beg Ten, SEC, etc. schools. While it varies company to company and campus to campus even, some for-profits are respected in their communities and provide a needed educational avenue for non-traditional students, leading them to careers that otherwise wouldn't be available to them.

No stones being thrown, but I would agree with the bolded when talking about technical schools like ITT Tech. But places like Strayer and the others? Not at all. In fact, places like American Military University, a for-profit school geared towards people in the military and the intelligence field, routinely gets bashed by all of the government HR staff and people in the intel/government field that I know.
