| There's always work to be had here, but you know what they say, the big fish ... and teachers are awfully small fry. There are plenty of schools here that have been here "forever", but competition and bad luck can kill a school or organization. Most if not all of the schools I mentioned above all had one thing in common: the funky way they made students pay up front for a whole year via financing. I think that over-eager sales staff were inadvertently forgetting to mention little details like the fact that their new students were signing for bank loans, etc. In some cases, when word got out of some of this stuff, it caused a run. In other cases, sales staff and owners lived high on the hog throwing big parties, etc. (i.e. overspending) until they suddenly closed down. Who knows what motivated them to do that?!?
In any case, the main warning here is about a certain type of school that overdoes the sales work and underdoes the class work. Know what I mean? It can happen anywhere and it does, but Spain may be especially prone to it because of how unregulated the industry is. |
