In Reply To: On the offer letter with the firm, it stays that the firm will do a reference check, drug test, and a background check...but the letter said nothing of doing a college degree verification (because, really the position does not require a college degree). So my question is...does a background check automatically consist of a college degree verification...or if the firm was going to do a college degree verification, they would have included that in the offer letter as a condition of employment? And how long does a background check normally take to conclude?
Message: I think the operative word here is "scheme," not scam as some students describe. It is just another company that sells a dream. That dream, however, is a get-rich-quick scheme. Come here, pay tuition, and when you graduate (if you do), you will be rewarded with riches beyond your dreams. That is how this school (company) markets itself. I wish I knew this before I just graduated.
