Most businesses are still suffering and are putting together recession-fueled sales, packages, or other financial incentives in order to attract increasingly tight-fisted customers. Those who are laid off are frequently turning to higher education as a worthy way to spend their free time, resulting in record enrollment numbers.
Now, even schools are participating in the recession giveaway: American Sentinel University (ASU) is aware that lean times will continue and is offering a Kindle 2, a Dell netbook, or a bonus credit hour for students who enroll in their online classes by August 27th.
