No, not all for-profit colleges are a scam. Some of them do good work and are worth the money.

I believe it's highly reckless to make a statement like this.

I went to a very well-known Liberal Arts College, but teach at a for-profit vocational college, and we do very good work preparing students for an employable and well-paid career in the outside world. All the time students come up to me and thank me for the training and the fact it brought them a job, a marriage, a house, etc.

Sounds like this particular institution has/had major problems, but that is no reason to paint all for-profit colleges with a broad brush.
