| The_vagabond7 said: Hell, years ago I looked into going to Draughons Jr. College (which is just a private run job training college) and for a two year course it was 30 thousand dollars. The local university charges slightly more (about 17-18k a year), and this isn't some top notch famous university. I know a guy that is just about to get out of medical school and be a doctor and he's 200k in the hole. Ironically in order to afford these colleges you need government grants (or wealthy parents). Other wise you're going to spend a decade or decades paying what essentially amounts to an extra mortgage payment in addition to all of your normal life expenses after college. Makes me wonder how many young "small government" enthusiasts took grant money to go to college without batting an eye. |
I didn't. Though I went to a community college for 2 years then transfered to a 4 year.
Though i actually think government grants for schooling is a good idea.
The more educated the a populace is the better... and a lot of underprivldeged people's parents are so shitty they can't get regular loans.
Never fair that your parents having poor credit screws you.
