I got undergrad free and will not pay for grad school either.

4 years of military service (8 if you count my 4 years at West Point) has been a big trade off, and I’m happy to be leaving active duty forever in a year. But knowing I’ll be graduating from two great institutions debt free is a really big weight to add to the “benefits” side of the scale. That said, it isn’t “free” and there are Lot of people for whom the military would not be worth any money you could pay them.

Well it's a good thing Harvard law grads have a median starting salary of 160k

Uncle Sam keeps providing money to academia...so they raise prices...even more.

A mix of correct statements and generalizations that don't hold.

I didn't make the inflation numbers. Nor the increase in university costs.

Oh by the way, don't be the stem professor that chooses science over politics.

What has the ridiculous increase in student payments gone to fund?

I feel like my university is pretty reasonably priced. Just barely more than BYU

The calculation has changed. If you don’t get the ROI you want from it, don’t go. Easy.

This is a myth. Trades actually have a high starting salary and low debt

Not being able to be a Harvard Law grad impedes social mobility?
