People I talked to who got business degrees at state schools have secured solid jobs out of college that pay pretty well.
I talked to a University of Michigan graduate who got his degree earlier this month, and he's set to make $110,000 as a consultant in Chicago.
And I talked to a University of Utah grad who landed a spot in Microsoft's two-year finance rotation program, and the starting salary in 2017 was $78,000.
He was deciding between a local public university and a public school in Colorado.
And he did the math and ran the numbers.
And even though he preferred to go to school in Colorado, he realized that going to the University of Kansas would be more cost-effective for him where he could pay in-state tuition.
A good number of the people I talked to graduated with no debt or little to no debt and were able to pay it off very quickly, which then set them up for a lot more financial freedom after graduation.
In terms of the financial picture, both private and public universities offer great resources to students in terms of the education, the professors.
A lot of them have great career development offices and opportunities to help students grow professionally.
But for students who are also concerned about their finances going forward or maybe want to keep their costs down and have less debt when they graduate, a public university can be a great option.
One public university graduate I talked to was telling me that he is really glad that he went to college instead of going from high school straight into a job because he had those four extra years to mature and develop more.
This man, who is a police officer recruiter in Oklahoma, was telling me that growing up in New Mexico, a middle school counselor told him that he wasn't meant to go to college, and that just fueled him even more to get a degree because he was a first-generation student.
college student and was able to get a full scholarship.
And now he's really glad that he got his education and had that extra time to mature.
Yeah.
