Quotes

“I believe if you are charging someone for a college education, you are obligated to share the placement rate for people who have the degree. The placement rate for any sort of audio degree right now is not very good. . . I would guess it’s probably somewhere around a philosophy degree or a dance major. Not very high. .” – Chris Graham

“It (a line of credit) is like an accordion. You can use it either way; you can put money in or you can take money out of a line of credit, versus a loan where if you put money in you cannot get it back out. That works really well for entrepreneurs like us.” – Brian Hood
