Seriously, though, in most schools tuition is the same regardless of the major.
I don't think GP's surprise was based on the idea that a bachelor's degree in such a major would typically be cheaper than others. I think GP was surprised that someone would be willing to take on so much debt for a degree in that major.
- georgecmu 16y agoHere's a table of tuition fees for her school http://www.universities.com/edu/Brooks_Institute_of_Photography.html http://www.universities.com/edu/Brooks_Institute_of_Photogra... It's 25K-26K per year, so even if she paid nothing out of pocket and had no financial aid, she'd owe slightly over $100K when she was done. And the rest of it has compounded. But yeah, most people don't do the math and don't have a realistic view of their career path when they enroll in their programs. I think depression would be a lot more common, if they did...
- nkassis 16y agoWow, this is highway robbery. People need to realize that they don't need to pay crazy money for a degree. Unless you go to one of the top 20 school in the US. You are getting nothing better than a state school degree. And some state schools are quite good (many programs are rated higher than all these private schools charging 20+K) The best advice is to pay the minimum you can unless you get a shot at going to harvard. And if you do, some of these school now are offering free tuition for people making less than X amount of money. I might be biased because I have a degree from a state university but that never prevented me from getting work.
