If you paid for school yourself with money earned through employment in the late 90s, my guess is you either majored in STEM, had a lot of AP or other credits going in, or did your first 2 years at a community college (or, possibly more than one of these). I’d also wager you went to an in-state public school. Am I right? If so, that probably makes you the exception rather than the rule.
- cptskippy 8y agoI attended an in-state public university and paid the full in-state tuition from 1998-2001. I worked a retail position at an office supply store for 2 years before taking a help desk position at a small company. With both jobs I worked part-time during fall and spring semesters and full-time during the summer to pay for tuition. > If so, that probably makes you the exception rather than the rule. So you're saying the majority of people seeking higher education are going out of state or to private schools? Enrollment in public/state colleges and universities outpaces private schools three to one. https://www.statista.com/statistics/183995/us-college-enrollment-and-projections-in-public-and-private-institutions/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/183995/us-college-enroll... https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cha.asp https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cha.asp
