From a grandma in grad school it came to $23,000. for my MASTERS. But, I drove 27,440 miles in 4 years.

My soul.

LadyJ 1 year, 11 months ago

Didn't have to pay near as much as I did for extra curricular activities during teen years and put 3,000 miles a month on my car.

Andini 1 year, 11 months ago

I'll probably be paying a 30 year fixed rate since my son is still a few years away.

rockchalker52 1 year, 11 months ago

Oranges are, no doubt, more costly than my during my college days. Tuition is a little more pricey, too. I think it was under $300 for a semester. Gonna go ponder that over a satsuma/minneola smoothie.

Drinking one of them every day could cost more than my freshman year on the hill.

CW, relish just how purty those beaded droplets look rolling down the hood of your car. Wax on, partner.

It's sad, SOME students should probably reconsider a college education. I work with student loans, & I see too many kids with a huge debt. Then they cant find work in their field, or a job at all. Alot of them end up defaulting on their student loans. I'm not saying an education is a bad thing, or that the experience isn't one of a lifetime. Just to remember, that 60,000 - 100,000. (or more) you borrow, must be repaid. These loans can be stretched out to 25 years for repayment but, if you are just going to school for the experience, is it really worth that debt of a lifetime, or worse yet, reuining your credit by defaulting?

In these times, if you're getting a degree, make sure it's in something job specific. A general degree is good for overall education, but it won't get you a paycheck! We need more trade schools.

Kontum1972 1 year, 11 months ago

RoeDapple 1 year, 11 months ago

Don't worry guys, I gots lotsa stupid stuff left in me. Just need fluxie to comment on me a few more times and I will have him triangulated on the spreadsheet.

Plenty of tinfoil hats left from the last one . . .

Everyone should borrow $60K to get an anthropology or art history degrees. You know the job market is flush with opportunity for those grads.

For the record: I did not get in a fight.

That was taken at the Dillon's on Mars.

I don't like to throw this around, but I just happen to be a high school graduate.

beatrice 1 year, 11 months ago

In dollars, or blood, sweat, tears and years? Either way, too much. Once you start it is difficult to stop (or is that finish?).

Looks like somebody got into the last of the remaining Polaroid film.

Once again gas in Topeka today $3.43 Lawrence $3.69. Who controls the price in Larryville?

cg22165 1 year, 11 months ago

10 times the difference between the annual amount of money I'd expect to make at a job with a degree I planned to get and some other job.

So, a degree in philosophy, not as much as an engineering degree, etc.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it sure makes the pursuit a whole lot more fun.

How much are we willing to pay or how much can we afford to apy??

Ummm...I think it should read, "Medical Billing and Coding." Speaking as a coder, there's no such occupation as "Medical bills and calling."

Pywacket 1 year, 11 months ago

Willing or able to pay? I went through mainly on scholarships, but for those who have to work their way through, it is no picnic! Many who drop out would love to pay whatever the going rate is--if they had the scratch to do so.

Daughter graduates from graduate school in Dec. Hopes to go straight into P.H.D. program. Oddly, her skin has an yellowish tint to it, and her hands and feet are orangish kind of like the fake tan in a bottle. Wish we could find out why. Of course she has been one medical mystery after another since the day she was born. Now the money I have spent on medical bills and tests and special foods for her, even with insurance, is probably for than I spent for college.

Also just read that it happens with people with hypothyroidism, which she has. They killed mine some years back (took two tries) but I have to admit I'm not a big veggie eater unless it's with pasta. But she does eat lots of veggies since she is allergic to most foods out there, thankfully not peanuts though.
