I noticed the following ad in my Gmail account today and thought it was worth passing along:

Are You Unemployed? – http://www.ClassesAndCareers.com – Use the Education Stimulus & earn a Degree from a top Online School.

School Stimulus Money

I thought the ad’s headline was particularly compelling: “Go back to school and get your share of the stimulus money”.

Too bad the for profit colleges that will be buying these leads aren’t smart enough to harvest prospects directly themselves or hire someone who can.

Instead most for profit colleges have to depend on ad agencies like this one from Utah to provide them with prospective student leads – if you can call someone who responds to this type of an ad a lead.
