Dysfunction Junction:
--- Quote from: "psy" ---Note:
when a program representative says: "we've changed" or "we don't do that anymore".
he/she really means "we're calling it something else, but it's pretty much the exact same thing."
I have no doubt that programs today are hiring people with records, or at the very least with very little qualification. WWASP being a good example. There are countless others, including "reputable" programs, who have been caught employing under-qualified personnel.

I think they can hire that people at a very low cost.Usually relatively low educated people can be hired at very low cost.It might be the reason for this.

Its a good point, Alvasin, It always comes down to cost. Look at your local public school, the school system does not hire all PhD's in fact most of the teachers are not that highly educated themselves. If the people in the town thought they wanted PhDs to teach there children they would raise taxes and pay the higher salaries. Same with programs, they hire what the customers want. Many of the kids entering these programs dropped out of school anyway so just getting their butts in a classroom is a big step lol.
But that aside, it is good to see these programs are getting themselves licensed and accredited to the point where they can hand out diplomas.

From what I have seen this is true, Alvasin. Program line staff are typically minimum wage, uneducated and inexperienced.
