When she signed up for the course, they told her their graduates had 98% employment in related fields.
Midway through, I found her some part-time work drawing fan-comic pinups for about $100/page, (maybe 10 pinups a month, so = $1000/m. Not quite enough to live off, but reasonable for part-time work). She turned the job down, because her teachers told her about magazine illustrators that make $400/page.

Incidentally, the window of opportunity unfortunately closed on that $1000/m comic job I found for her as well (it being two years since the offer was extended to her on my recommendation).
After 5 years in college, and $40,000 in student debt, my sister is a waitress now.
