    Re: “Art of the Deal
    Hello,I have several viewpoints from your article. If you talk to any recent college graduate, they will tell you the same story as this graduate did. I was one of them at one point 10 years ago. I worked hard and am currently paying off my college debt like everyone else. AIP is a SPECIALIZED ART DESIGN school. Any Art major is going to be quite expensive based on the tools needed in and out of the classroom to prove your ability. As far as the job goes, it doesn't matter if your degree is in Graphic/Industrial Design, or Basic Weaving, you need to get off you ass and SELL YOURSELF and YOUR SKILLS to the hiring employer. Pitt doesn't have a 24-7 webchat so therefore you WILL INDEED pay more to go the AIP. With that being said, I CANNOT excuse the idocy of hiring Todd Nelson as CEO of EDMC!!! Who would hire someone with a track record such as this man? If you really want a story, you can go right to the SEC filings to: http://www.secinfo.com/d14D5a.v7MK3.htm and find out exactly what the CEO of EDMC-OHE Stephen Weiss makes! Here is your for profit. The ground schools are legit! They are good schools with a credible integrity. I suggest you delve deeper into the workings of the online arena of this company.
