my friend's wife went to school to be a veterinarian and she's still paying off her loan. She graduated ~15 years ago.
I dropped out of college back then and just lied on my resume to get an IT job lol

What did you say?
just said I had an unrelated degree because the position required a degree of any kind
Years later…
You never did tell us what degree you had.
Degree?
You said on your CV you had an unrelated degree.
I said I was unrelated to a degree.
lol I haven't worked there in years but I believe the actual degree I put down was psychology. I think they were just desperate to fill the position because at the time their IT dept was like 2 people
If I ever became dictator, my first and only move before handing power over to someone more competent would be to raze all ivy league and private institutions to the ground, especially their poly sci departments.
how could you forget econ and business, both are ground zero for hitler particles in universities.
True, those also have to go.

My undergrad was...I think 50k/year? At the time, I think it is closer to 70-80k/year now. My graduate degreee (which was not in the US) was like...5k/year, and that was at one of the more expensive private unis in my country.
I don't regret my time in uni, it was extremely valuable to me besides the piece of paper I got at the end (which I do not use in my current career at all anyway). The cost is absolutely ridiculous though, I was in an extremely privileged position to be able to go and would not recommend many people do the same when they could make much better career choices.
Which is depressing. Education should not need to be a luxury.
MURICA!!!!!
My undergrad is not that much, thank god! What undergraduate degree is 300k???? I don’t even think a masters degree is that bad where I am.
My state school (CSU system) is around 20k / year. 300k sounds like a fancy shmancy private school or something. Also, depending on your income, FAFSA will also give more aid to help cover costs, some schools may also give you scholarships and stuff based on academic merit.
Tuition where I teach is more than my salary
I remember talking to out-of-state students about this and being blown away by their tuition costs.
Without room and board, tuition for me came down to $3,000/semester and could be reduced by half for a year or two by doing a transfer program from a community college.
Out-of-state students were paying over $30,000/semester. It made me wonder why they came here at all. This was not a particularly prestigious college. They were paying almost double what my starting salary was at the same college per year.
This is at a public, state college in one of the less-populated states.
