the "fake ancedote" is actually my Wife's actual case. She did a semester at NYU that was $38k, her entire sociology degree was around $280k for books, school and boarding. She was smart and said forget that mountain of student debt, I'd rather do state school, and she did and it took us a few years to pay off that one semester of debt at NYU.
Her best friend went to Pace and ended up with $250k of tuition/books/boarding for her liberal arts degree, so yeah total fabrication on my part :)
- xracy 5y agoYou didn't answer the question about the responsibility of colleges for selling this to children... Also, you're presupposing that all liberal arts degrees are bad, and I would contest that as a person who went to a liberal arts college. Also, My takeaway from your 'anecdote' possible we should pay social workers more because the cost to get that degree isn't covered by the work that they would do afterwards...
