A friend of the family went to a culinary school. I think they said it cost over $10,000, and was about a six month course. But he has gotten jobs as chefs. It paid off for him.

Our friend also said the school was very active in placement of their graduates into jobs.
This gal is finding that nobody cares about her degrees from these places. She’s learning some hard facts of Life.
She has lots of issues that don’t show up in this article. For one, she is not telling the whole story about her debt. There must be far more to her debt than just an associates degree. I think she either folded more debt into her school debt, like living expenses. Or she folded in other unsuccessful schooling into her debt. Like she may have started in one major and finished in another. Or even moved schools.
Also, as you point out, she can’t find a job. So, the school is not helping her. Or she is very unwilling to take several jobs. The truth is that schools help their best students. She is clearly not one of them. But even if she did not get her schools help, she is lazy. Jobs are everywhere. And she can’t get or hold one, so she is lazy or a terrible employee. A college degree can’t help someone who does not help themselves. She should try to get a job at a prison or school cafeteria. That way she could get in a government union and never be fired.

Do you know the name of the school? Our friend's daughter is wanting to go into this field.
