I just want to say Thank You to Cary for giving me many happy years of employment and being fair to all his employees.
You all need to know that today about half of the employees were laid off. Times are changing in the student loan industry. But when you read so much negative about Cary Katz, just know that even when we were getting our final papers, the employees clapped in appreciation of his kindness and that should tell you how much we all respect Cary. Thank you Cary. Good luck with the company from here.

Nice blog. Education is important and has become even more important in this recession. People need college now more than ever ... not to get a new job but to keep the job they currently have. Competition for the few open jobs that are available is fierce and people that are undereducated are finding it impossible to get a decent job. Go into your local fast food joint and see how many middle aged people are moonlighting to make ends meet.
