<p>If this is one of those for-profit career colleges I hope she wins. The “councilors” at those schools are just glorified used-car salesmen whose sole purpose is to get your butt in a seat at any cost. They absolutely do lie to students to make their quotas. They inflate their placement rates, show prospective students false or misleading data about salaries and job prospects, and spring hidden fees on students, among other things. This kind of place does say they help with placement and when you call they send a list of job search websites and offer to review your resume. </p>
<p>These schools also have ridiculously high student loan default rates that put the whole student loan system at jeopardy. They should not even be allowed to receive federal financial aid.</p>
<p>There are been cases where students have won class-actions against career colleges that over-promise. She should talk to other jobless grads and get a class-action going.</p>
