People talking about the economics of college and citing their experience from over two decades ago as if it’s supposed to be comparable to today is really frustrating.
- irrational 4y agoThe economics wasn’t the important part. The things I learned studying ancient history and linguistics and how those have made me a better person and developer are. I do understand how much tuition has skyrocketed. The year I graduated, tuition was $1,360 per semester. In 2023, tuition is $3,152 per semester. That is a $1,792 increase only 25 years (I graduated in 1998)

- meh8881 4y agoThe economics are absolutely an important part. Your school is very cheap. That’s nice. But you may well feel differently if you school had been 100x more expensive. Which is not a hyperbolic example.
