Has anyone worked high up in a college(to know the financials) and/or looked into starting a college as a way to make income. It seems like it would be a huge cash cow, and it's something that always has demand, since it's basically what people do after high school whether they want it or not. I know nothing about the the financials or colleges though so would be curious to hear from anyone who does. Is there some crazy hoops to jump through to be considered a college?
