Educational Scams

A lot of young people I meet these days are talking about enrolling themselves in an MBA course run by one of the accredited universities in Britain or USA. Online courses, practically their best option, are comparatively cheaper and flexible in duration.

Some of these ambitious graduates, out of the reckless impatience of youth, hurry to join some courses without any inquiry or verification, and are quite misguided in this. They do not realize their folly until they run into deep trouble.

Websites are now teeming with 'MBA Online' ads, and these fantasy-prompts have their impact on impressionable minds. Repetitive Ads lure young minds inclined to crazy fad or struck by a storm of fashion. An MBA degree added to one's name has its own secret satisfaction, and so some are definitely fascinated by this notion. However, a guy with a meritorious degree in hand has its own weight in the society definitely. He has a higher market value as he affects professional charm.

Educational scams tailored and run for enticing inexperienced minds are doing their job as well. Not just in education, but in every field, this is the most depressing trend. There is much, that is truly inspiring, going on as fruitful educational endeavor; but at the same time, much that is deeply discouraging, is also taking place behind the screen. Every real activity has its antithesis in some form or other lifting its hydra heads in the society. Both good and evil prevail side by side; but you always see the vicious flourish.

What is the solution? How do the youth get the right direction and guidance? To escape being caught in a trap of fake degrees and educational scams, we must be extremely alert and analytical. We must remember that if we fall into temptation, it would be dangerous and disastrous; and it will spoil the future prospects and career: not only time and money wasted, the damaging disgrace would continue to pester us throughout life with its pop-up windows of regretful tragic loss. So it is always good to plan and ensure security. Before we actually begin the project, we must confirm the security of the source through proper background inquiry and study. As the proverb says: 'Think before you leap.'

In the Middle East especially, there are a number of agencies that label themselves as popular in offering various high level courses to students and they go on inviting applications and accepting payments to give admission to remote universities. They often succeed in attracting a sizable crowd of learners through their fraudulant but persuasive techniques. Imposters as they are, they have their elusive marketing magic to touch and put to sleep their prospective candidates and win their absolute trust. The cruel masters turn them into addictive listeners, who are compelled to watch their trade show.

So let's be watchful and discreet.
