I went to college in my 30s and got texts and calls from recruiters for months. I never knowingly gave my contact info to them, so I'm assuming they got it from the school.

Did you sign up for FAFSA?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I guess that's how they got my info.

I don't know, I'm just speculating, because I only started getting contacted by recruiters around that same time, but it could be from colleges too.

Yep. They'll tell you if you ask. I got a text and asked the chick, and she said the schools straight up give them the list.
