U.S.: Good news: A college is offering grads a refund if you don’t get a job

  • Bad news: It’s a community college. Lansing Community College, in Michigan’s state capital (and within stone’s throw of our alma mater, Michigan State University) will offer the deal on some of the area’s most in-demand technical jobs, including call-center specialists, pharmacy technicians, quality inspectors and computer machinists. None of these jobs pay on average more than $15 an hour in pay, and we’re not exactly talking two-year degrees, even, but you have to remember this is Michigan and Michigan is in dire straits right now. This is good for them. source
