{"product_id":"9781942899433","title":"Career School","description":"CAREER SCHOOL tells the story of a prestigious Philadelphia college selling its soul to make a profit. Its heroes include Oliver Dunbar, a kind-hearted school director and twenty-year advocate of education, now forced against his will to think like a businessman; Lily Espirito, a beautiful but ruthless admissions director who will let nothing stop her from making her enrollment goals; Louise, a cynical bursar; Ethel, the stalwart dean; and David, a financial aid director who would rather be painting. It's a story of academic integrity clashing with greed, scandal, sex, and human frailty, set at an institution of higher learning where students come from all economic spheres-from the wealthy Main Line suburbs to the city's worst housing projects-with the dream of getting a degree and a chance at a better life, and trusting that their college will always have their best interests at heart.\u003cp\u003eFunny, passionate, and offering rare insight in the dynamics of running a small college, CAREER SCHOOL is one of the important social stories of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Colahan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040594673904,"sku":"9781942899433","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781942899433_p0.jpg?v=1769898291","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781942899433","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
