About
Aaron Calafato's award winning monologue FOR PROFIT is an inside look at the For Profit educational industry, the 1 trillion dollar student debt crisis, and a vibrant portrayal of the exploitation of the American student.
Synopsis:
Months into his job as an admissions counselor at a for-profit college somewhere in the Midwest, Aaron Calafato began to grow increasingly conflicted.
Responding to the college's pressure, he says, he was signing up poorly prepared students for expensive degree programs that would leave them heavily in debt, all so he could make sure he himself had money he needed to keep paying off his own student loans.
FOR PROFIT made its New York City premiere at The Seeing Place Theater on March 2012. It has been staged and screened over 200 times in 20 states at Universities, Theaters, & Educational Conferences.
