I have sporadically attended traditional brick and mortar institutions but had difficulty working 50 plus hours a week, going to school and raising a family. I have b[...]

First, I see the problem getting worse.  The investigations for the for profits are very worrisome. This inline industry refuses to publish even minimal statistics about t[...]
