FORT WORTH, Texas — They offer the dream of a good-paying job in a high-demand field, easy admission, flexible hours and help with the thicket of paperwork to obtain federal financial aid.
For students who work full time, prefer hands-on training and want a degree or certification quickly, private, for-profit schools seem like an ideal solution. And some graduates have found career success.
But others may leave saddled with debt and little else. Many graduates find that public and selective private colleges won't accept transfer credits, or that the degrees or certificates won't land them a job. Ultimately, taxpayers foot the bill when students default on their federally insured loans.

From wikipedia:
Samuel Dashiell Hammett (May 27, 1894—January 10, 1961) was an American author of hardboiled detective novels and short stories. Among the enduring characters he created are Sam Spade (
The Maltese Falcon), Nick and Nora Charles (
The Thin Man), and the Continental Op (
Red Harvest and
The Dain Curse). In addition to the significant influence his novels and stories had on film, Hammett "is now widely regarded as one of the finest mystery writers of all time" and was called, in his obituary in
The New York Times, "the dean of the... 'hard-boiled' school of detective fiction".
