So don't sign up. For some this is the golden ticket into the middle class, and worth the price.

I'm guessing its really a trainer/recruiter for a contracting firm. But so what? That's a great first job for a graduate - lots of experience quickly.

Therein lies the catch, I think. It's not the golden ticket people want to believe it is... but telling people that the offer of their dreams is a sham is a losing proposition.

middle class is all relative to salary and location. if you're making $50K a year and living somewhere in North Dakota, then yes, you're probably well above middle class. But making $50K and living in LA, well, you're in poverty.

Somebody in Africa would have a different opinion of poverty.

That was kind of the point.
