I think at $35k/degree the public university route is probably the most bang for your buck. I wonder how these schools compare to similar state run schools in Europe/Asia.
- yequalsx 17y agoOne thing to keep in mind is that around 50% of all students fail to complete their degree in 6 years. We're talking about 4 year degrees here. I believe around 30% never complete a degree. The opportunity cost of getting a degree for many majors makes it, from a monetary point of view, not worthwhile. If I could do it all over again I would have gotten a two year degree in nursing and been in the workforce at 20. I ended up going to graduate school in mathematics and was in school until 29. I lost 9 years of earnings and my pay as a community college instructor is less than what my nursing friends make. There are other factors to take into consideration but here I'm only considering things from a money point of view.
- apsec112 17y agoThese numbers are all lies, because they don't take financial aid into account. See, eg. Harvard's financial aid program here: http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k51861&pageid=icb.page246751 http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k51861&...
