For Profit Colleges by Nate J.

A man named Michal Clifford has six colleges with almost 100,000 students- with 90% of them studying online. Today, for-profit colleges enroll 9% of all students, many of them in online programs. I think this will have mass appeal because with online colleges, you don't have to pay any college professors. That is why many for-profit colleges today are switching to online programs. You also don't need to buy text books, so you can make college cheaper and more accessible to people with a lower income. This will have a huge effect on the economy, more people will be going to college, and playing important roles in the community. I believe this will stay the "it" item for a long time, because people will like that they can get schooled at home, instead of having to come to a school building every day. This will also cut back on deforestation, because of the paper saved from the use of the text books. I would definitely buy this product, because I like the sound of the idea of getting school at home, it can be made cheaper, and it helps the environment.
