Beware of home staging training companies promising jobs

If you're being tempted by ads for home staging training companies guaranteeing employment upon graduation, please be careful.

I hear many stories from people who have enrolled in a program with the understanding they would be given jobs when they finished, starting at $31.45/hour. Sadly, people are finding that maybe these claims really are too good to be true.

There are a couple of problems, that I can see, with these claims.

First of all, home stagers make much more than $31.45/hour and secondly, home staging is not a field that offers guaranteed employment because home stagers generally run their own small businesses from home.
