Not many degrees are even worth it anymore. The tuition and everything else is so astronomical when you sit down and work the fianancials you have to question if it is even worth it.
Even being a doctor or lawyer you will rack up over $100,000 of debt. Student loans into the $150,000+ for advanced degrees is not all that uncommon.
Now 10-20 years ago, college didnt cost anywhere near this much. You could get that history degree for less than the cost of a used car. Today it’s the cost of a house. Im sort of scratching my head on why the past decade tuition costs have shot through the roof. Doesnt make sense.
Colleges and Universities any more are just graduation factories.
They are such whores for money, and the bar is so low for entry, that perfectly unfit and uneducated people (ones EVEN remedial courses can NOT bring up to speed) are enrolled and indulged in some BS curriculum. Then they are thrust out on the world...JUST as unemployable and inept as before.... only BY NOW, taxpayer burden is astronomically increased to support this person in a college or university. It is an idiotic process and there is NO guidance or oversight in the whole thing.
If any intelligent and responsible adult would, anywhere along the line, look at this person’s abilities, curriculum and goals .... they’d see that it is good money thrown at an impossible scenario.
There is NOTHING wrong with vocational education or 2 year associate degree programs for people newly out of HS and unable to afford or qualify for college.... NOTHING!!! In two years THESE graduates can come out with demonstrated skills and realistic prospects for employment...Who needs COLLEGE???????????
