one of the main reasons colleges are so expensive today is that government got its greedy hands on it in the first place.
I would point this out....generally, depending on what state you live in....community college for one year will run roughly $1,500 to $2,000. You live at home or do it while working full-time. The community college has no upper-level professors or instructors....so they aren’t saddled with outrageous yearly salary. No sports program, and no housing program.
I caught a Wall Street Journal item this week....talking about this kid who went through the CC-system, graduated with a degree in welding, and at the age of twenty-four....is making $130,000 a year. There are various ways that Community College is a better deal than a four-year university, and probably half the kids in the four-year method....are wasting time and money on a degree that simply won’t pay itself back.
