I’m curious what your segue is from contextualizing and rationalizing decisions I’ve/we’ve made for myself/ourselves to judgements on others.
My point, I guess, was that it’s easy to think of university costs purely in monetary cost and ignore the inherent time-cost required to pay.
The calculus I did when looking at schools was: it costs X much, median starting salary for this field is Y, I’ll have to “do my time” for Z years as payment for my education. Looking at it that way, I’m paying for school with time, not money.
