Higher Education?

Hi there, I was watching my favorite TV show, The Colbert Report, when a segment came on about for-profit colleges. The clip details the difference between the non-profit schools and the newer for-profit places, like Kaplan and Devry. One thing I found very intriguing was the fact that Goldman Sachs has a 38% ownership stake in the second largest school. It's pretty safe assume that Goldman Sachs will only get into businesses that are ripping people off somewhere! I thought that some of this information might be interesting, so I figured I would share the clip.
Stephen Colbert has to be one of the greatest political pundits of all time. I love the satirical edge of his show, makes me laugh every time. I really do not know how he manages to keep a straight face throughout his bits. His writers have to be some of the best in the business. I prefer Colbert to The Daily Show, but I think that is a preference thing. I am not much of a "progressive", so many times I find Jon Stewart to be a little too preachy. Hope you all enjoy the clip!
