Who would have thought it possible: \ufffdTruly the worst horror stories are from private culinary schools,\ufffd said Alan Collinge, who founded the grass-roots lobbying group Student Loan Justice and collects information from people with student loan problems. \ufffdThe story is always the same. The school convinces the student they are going to be the next Julia Child or Wolfgang Puck, and the student will sign anything.\ufffd [link\|http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/08/us/08default.html?hp\|Link] Seamus

The entertainment industry here keeps Los Angeles supplied with an endless stream of waiters, waitresses and valets, all waiting to be discovered. They are relatively lucky though - nobody lends money to an aspiring actor. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
