education description not working #47

Closed kevinchugh closed 8 years ago

This always appears as empty string.

Looks like this is because there are two h5's, one for the description, one for the college logo, the presence of college logo is tripping up this selector and causing an empty description.

I keep getting a permission error to commit the fix, so here's the fix:

change line 94 in lib/linkedin-scraper/profile.rb from desc = item.at('h5') to desc = item.search('h5').last

This will skip over the first h5 if present
