5. Proprietary schools use these misleading tactics.

The Art Institutes do this. They imply that you will be able to get a job when you graduate and that by going to that school, you will have connections.

The Houston school was sued by about 200 former students because of this BS. The plaintiffs settled for a few hundred dollars. Nobody got anywhere near their original tuition money back. As far as the video production business, the job market was not open. People with advanced physics/electrical engineering degrees were not hired, in favor of non-college graduates with an 18 month certificate that would not transfer to a four year college, because they were "young" and "hip". They knew nothing about proper recording.
