and you're not sure what to do with your life (which includes a lot of people), it would be easy to be scammed by these institutions.
The segment tells how the private schools sucker the kids in, get them a job after they earn their certificate, and after they are on the job a few months, they are fired.
Who takes their place? Other students who are graduating from the same school.
