My wife & I have five degrees between us (an Ivy League included), total cost under $100k. The amount of tuition money out there waiting for recipients is staggering, if you'll just look for it, study hard, and be flexible. And do realize there is a difference between education and certification.
If you're paying list price for an education, you're doing it wrong.

- muzz 14y agoIf you are a student from a family with median income or below, Harvard and Stanford waive tuition (and Stanford will cover room and board too). http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/02/21/us-education-stanford-tuition-idUSN2041220220080221 http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/02/21/us-education-stanf...
- codexon 14y agoI think everyone is aware of that by now. Someone brings it up every time tuition comes up. Given their acceptance rates, this is not an option for even a majority of HN readers.
- ctdonath 14y agoI'm neither.
- codexon 14y agoLet me guess what else. - Military or government service. - Join a company that will pay you to get the degree (likely only from a company that requires a top degree) - A field of study that no one ever chooses. If not feel free to share some of that information.
- ctdonath 14y ago#1 - not me. #2 is more available than you realize. #3 exemplifies supply-and-demand. If you're not flexible, you'll pay thru the nose.
