A College Guarantees Job Offers — or Else a Refund
Money-back guarantees hardly seem to go with higher education. And offering them to prospective applicants during a recession sounds downright insane.

Beginning in May, people who take six-week courses in certain subjects will be guaranteed a job within a year — or else they'll be refunded their tuition money.
