My daughter just graduated from UW Madison debt free by working two part time jobs basically full time for years during and after high school and paid for all of her tuition and rent/food. If there’s a will there’s a way. I call BS on all of these folks deep in debt.

I call BS. Here are the facts:

Residents of Wisconsin pay an annual total price of $25,635 to attend University of Wisconsin Madison on a full time basis.

So your daughter generated $100,000 in wages plus room and board working part time and full time for two years? YEAH RIGHT PAL.

Sorry, the current model is broken. While I’m glad your daughter is super-human the cost:income ratio of college has become completely absurd. I know students paying $50K PER YEAR. If they’re spending the necessary time to study, go to class, complete assignments, etc. there should NOT be time to have a full time job as well.

Basic stats show costs have increased at an accelerated rate compared to income. I’ll refrain from questioning the details of your daughter - but even if true, it is a sample of one, which is irrelevant. No way a computer science major has the time to work full time.
