      Before my degree, I was making $13/h wondering when I'll be able to break out of the working poor class. A college degree later, I'm making 6 figure and solidly in the middle class. Is college worth it? Yes. But treat it like a white collar trade school. Learn a skill.

      I think the only times where the college you go to matters is if you're planning to be in a field where the expensive colleges have a meaningful alumni network and you plan to utilize it. I'm pretty sure the colleges that charge 100k have this and it's your fault if you pay 100k and then not make use of it. That's pretty much the only point. You're paying for the network not specifically way better professors.
      Like Washington University is one of the ones charging near 6 figures and if you go there, the point is you're going into politics and you better be rubbing those elbows with current and former government officials. Like Washington U holds events with secretary of state as the speaker. It has a standing alumni network for Defense, Aerospace, and National Security. If you aren't taking that opportunity, you wasted your time and money.

    Most of these people commenting about their success without a college degree is the exception and not the rule. Is $100k a year for college ridiculous? Yes.

  • @justinchan6043
    @justinchan6043 Před měsícem +7

    The only comment I really have to make is that, a college education only really matters if the field you want to go into REQUIRES a college degree, just for an entry level position. And there many jobs out there that do. Just look at the help wanted ads online. They will tell you exactly what they require: 4 year college degree, bilingual, possibly even what specific major you need to have for that job. For example, if you want to be an editor at a newspaper or news website, they would prefer you to have an English degree or similar. If you want a job in the media, they are looking for communications background, etc.
    But yes, the prices for all higher education has gotten out of control. I recommend the documentary, Ivory Tower, that touches on this exact subject. I argue with people all the time on student loan forgiveness, that if you were a Boomer of Gen X, college was much cheaper back then. It is at least double the cost now than when I went to college in the 1990s, for the same college.

    Pick a school that you can afford. I had to tell my oldest we couldn't afford the school that she got in, she went to state University and lived at home. Transferred to USC Junior year, kept her grades up and they floated much of her costs. We had college savings but graduating with zero debt is golden. Both my kids have told me this.
    Don't be afraid of the expensive college if they well endowed to provide generous colleges. So your research. Local state universities are also good. Community college is good. Do what is right for you.

    Short Answer No
    Long Answer: Unless if that school has a program you're really interested in that the other schools don't have then i don't see an issue with them paying for it but as a disclaimer they must also acknowledge that any private loans they take out regardless of its interest rate would be all on them.
    I'm a believer in student debt forgiveness but only for federal loans taken out for undergrad only. Graduate and Higher that's their problem.
    ETA: 12:00 It is and the problem with it is that curriculums can't change as fast because of how fast the trends in the workplace come and go. We are long since passed from paper resumes into digital ones and in person face to face interviewing to one way scripted interviewing. Not including that many companies are now shifting into relying on an ATS to scan resumes.

If you paid to go to UofChicago for econ and some random from India outcompeted you on capitalist economics, that's on you and not the college.

    Private schools can jack up their tuition as much as they want, but a lot of the elite schools do offer the most generous financial aid and merit-based scholarships. Don't knock the public institutions, though. Schools like Berkeley or Michigan will give you an Ivy-tier education without the inflated price tag. In terms of prestige, it's true that major is somewhat less important. There are Harvard and Stanford grads who majored in underwater basket weaving that land jobs in Silicon Valley and Wall St.

    Unless you've secured yourselves scholarships, young Americans should consider leaving USA for more affordable education overseas. Plenty of other countries with higher PISA scores & University rankings anyway. Venturing overseas also forces young people to become more independent, potentially learn a new language and experience a different culture. In Singapore for example :20+ years ago it costed ~18k SGD for an undergrad degree and present day its 33k+ SGD , that's a reasonable growth via natural inflation as opposed to the clearly profit driven education scheme in USA. A 4yr Law degree in Singapore costs ~81K USD + ~ 60K USD living expenses.

    Is college worth 100k? It can be. It just depends on how you use your time. Either you have an idea that you could build off of to create a career and use your college time to prepare you to make that idea a reality, or spend your college years identifying other students who have that million dollar idea or seem more likely to jump ahead on their career very quickly and be their best friend so that after college you will have an almost endless supply of job opportunities. Either way your 100k a year investment will be more than worth it. However, if you want to pay 100k a year to party, well, thats on you.
    Also, the general sentiment that college isnt worth it anymore is really only because more and more students expect to get paid without doing anything. Just paying tuition and attending classes is not enough to set yourself up for a long career. Its always been that way. You have to go out of your way to make things happen. This is true in and out of college. People need to stop expecting success just because they paid tuition.
