[E. Pluribus Unum]

Our son worked his way through Fort Bend community college, then worked his way through the University of Houston. He got a 4.0 at U of H in computer science. He got an internship as a programmer his first year at U of H, that turned into a full-time job when he graduated. He works for that same company 12 years later.

We gave him a free place to live and free food. He did the rest.

How does the tuition of UH compare to now, from 12 years ago?

My son just graduated from college last Friday. His major is computer science. He’ll be working for a well known .com making 65,000 starting next week. All the other computer science majors he graduated with (15) also found jobs easily.
All I heard at the graduation ceremony last week were parents worried their graduate won’t find jobs. Some of them think their child should go get their masters now and wait out the economy.
My son got through college on a scholarship. He lived at home, interned, and worked.
