Initial thoughts for final paper

So, I was a bit confused about the limitations of the research paper topic, but I've got it figured out now. I've still been contemplating what to write about and haven't really come up with anything I'm willing to commit to yet. Week 2 of class we talked a lot about schools that turn a tremendous profit through promises of education. These schools are everywhere including New Jersey. I actually have a family member that is currently employed by one of these "profit" schools. The students go to this school for about a year and they told that attending this school is the path to a successful career. To attend this school, which really isn't a school at all (students just go around to hospitals and observe), students are expected to pay a tuition of around $20,000 per/year. Thats a lot of money for "schooling" that brings you no where. Though this is similar to articles and videos we watched, I'd like to look deeper into this; provide a different perspective, and find something that hasn't been covered by any of the published information on these schools .
