Higher education is nothing but a big lie,with a college degree I'am the most education person in my family and I am also the only person without a job,my brother can barely read and has a job, my sister has a 2 year degree and has a job and my 4 year degree gets me homeless.Employers use my 4 year degree as a reason not to hire me, because low and behold if something better comes along I might take it. If your considering going to college don't! Keep your money,it's just no worth it!
Omg, is this for real?? Mine is almost 3 times that!
It cost a lot of money to get higher education. And student loan will leave you great amount of debt. People want to go into better college should think about it carefully.

That sounds about right for undergrad. However, I'm looking at at least another $50k for grad school. I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it.

Yeah, that's nothing. I have like 2 or 3 times that.
Ugh, I wish we were dealing with that. My husband owes over $70,000....but, he's working on his PhD. Hopefully.....he'll get a good paying job when he graduates, because the loans are insane!!!!
