Getting out of high school was supposed be the best moment in starting my career. I went to a career fair at my high school and always wanted to do massage therapy. The Soma Institute in Chicago was visiting and they seemed like a legit outfit. I was so wrong. From the moment I signed up I had to take out all of these loans and they promised me a budding career.
12 months later I am working at the GAP full time to pay off the loans, and they offered me nothing after graduation. Everytime I call career services they tell me everything is filled but something may be right around the corner and it's been two years.
I don't know how long the school has been around but parents beware. They prey on high school students looking for a 4 year alternative and housewives looking for a change. Don't fall for this. Many community colleges and such offer similar programs at a cheaper price.
