[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 4829063, member: 44554"] Ok, folks. Let’s get accurate. I have a BA and a master’s degree. Tuition in the late 70s was low, especially after I got in-state rates after the first year. Yes, I had loan debt for grad school, but it wasn’t anything like horror stories prevalent now. I worked in my field, paid off the loan and lived life. Like someone said, no one wakes up one day as a young kid thinking they want to move boxes for a living. Don’t get me wrong. If you can do it and tolerate the crap, it’s a fine and respectable job Many excellent reasons to attend college. It depends on your interests and how strongly something calls to you. Knowledge and learning are good just by themselves. But you also better have a way to make a living. Do you want to be a doctor or scientist who helps improve the world? Or even an English major. Well worth it as long as you anticipate the level and length of what it will cost. There’s more to life than competing with others about how many things you can buy. [/QUOTE]
