Hi Jason (since you're reading this!) * I spent about $20/year during my college years. That was tuition, room, and board, for graduate & undergraduate from 2002-2009 or so. * Interns at my company get paid, and well enough they can survive. But they usually work for 1-2 years, I think. Not 10 weeks. This is in line with a trades apprenticeship. I think the core problem is "going to expensive schools". edit: And there's an underlying surge in the cost of education, which is working to make all schools expensive. My total cost of college probably sat around $140K, but that that is far more than my debt load, and I made some poor strategic choices for college: a better set of choices would have dropped the TCC down to 100K or so.
