I've got a friend that is looking to interview with Bridge Point Education (parent of Ashford' University) for an IT position. She's telling me that this is one of the fastest employers in San Diego right about now, but I haven't heard much about this Univ/Place...anyone have a clue?

They will prolong the agony by first electing to take on the debt themselves to continue to show investor cash flow but as these loansn defautl they will go under. JMTC

Actually in most of the retail education classes I had, there were few or none of students who were financing their education.

Go and take a look at the perspectus on the publicly traded companies in this area. You will see that they use the federal student loan program quite extensively.
