I know! And I completely admit that, that is what makes me realize that I cannot "Ban" them from campus. What they are though is hugely misleading and inappropriately advertised, I'm pretty sure all of us who are broke wouldn't mind earning an unreal $200 per day or $15 per hour or $20,000 per summer.

Sure big corporations all over the world have alot of misleading advertisement slogans as well but they aren't as blatantly misleading as this company. Hence my first priority is getting them out of class rooms since their role in an academic setting is not welcome. As far as MUSC goes that will be a very hard sell, since MUSC is a private entity/company and not directly owned by either MSU or Admin(Its 50/50).

And Cheri I meant that I had apparently heard that they had stopped coming to 1st year classes in second semester(Jan onwards); They have never come to one of my classes ever though so I have to rely on random first years I know for testimony.

Makes sense. I reckon they'll be stopping by soon enough now that summer is fast approaching.
