Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Going to one of your state schools is a good choice for a relatively low cost education.
It's naive to think a college degree isn't valuable. Among a collection of candidates with and without college degrees, those with degrees will not only get preferential treatment, but also once they are deep in their careers those who do not have formal degrees will be held back from leadership roles.
This is how the real world works much of the time, the idea that college is becoming less important is wrong. It's becoming more important.
- greedo 9y agoThey're probably getting downvoted because the cost of state schools is still too high to work your way through (without loans etc.)
- Slansitartop 9y agoProbably depends on the state. Aren't California's as expensive as private schools now? Some other states still have reasonably priced state schools.
- greedo 9y agoI live in the midwest, and our "premier" state school is $18k/year (including housing). Unless you're going to go to community college for your first two years and then transfer, it's very hard to not incur a substantial amount of debt in completing your degree.
