I think if all things, given all variables, properly rated.
No, definitely not.
But the thing is, there are ways to
do college in an affordable way.
But I don't think culturally, I think we stigmatize community college and we stigmatize local commuter colleges.
And I would love to see more of a celebration of that.
And trade schools.
Yeah, and trade schools, vocational training.
Why do we put the really expensive private and Ivy Leagues on such a pedestal?
I think that's part of the problem.
My undergrad at a state school, I went to the University of North Texas, and I had a state of Texas grant.
We didn't have money.
My family didn't have money, and so we were able to get a waiver.
So I got to go to college for free, which was really cool.
And then my master's was $30,000 that I paid for myself.
Actually, I took out loans, so I paid them off.
And I would say my PhD, though, because most PhDs, research PhDs, you're on fellowship, so you're using the grant money of your major professor.
But if it's a practical PhD, like
medical school or that's an md or a law degree or clinical psych um i want to say it's averaging out to 150 but i yeah but i was very lucky this is why i went to school late in life i told myself i will not take out student debt so i amortize it and i pay a monthly fee i pay a second mortgage basically every month to pay for my university education it's a lot but i also think it is a good investment in my in my future i think it's on the whole i think it's overrated
If we take sort of the financial, and that makes it a hard question, right?
