  45% of her starting income. Though based on median income data ($63,550/yr), it's still 26.7% of her income potential. http://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/accountant/salary http://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/accountant/salary And accountants make reasonably good money (there's also better upside potential, but median is a good planning basis).

  I didn't realize that other states were having tuition problems till I read this article. My in-state tuition costs are $5k / semester, or $10k / year. (And another ~5k / year for other costs like food and books) I'd only be paying $20k+ if I were going to a dorm. I stayed at my parents house and car-pooled to college each day to reduce costs. With a bit of summer work, I was able to pay more of my tuition without loans. I left college with ~$30k in loans, and was able to pay that off within a few years. Sizable yes, but no where near the $100k that this person is complaining about. I do realize that the State of New Jersey is to blame here for ridiculous tuition costs. But again, if money was going to be a problem, there are cheaper ways of getting your education.
