Well, if that's the case, you're obviously not doing it for the money, so it won't matter.

No one is getting banged at BYU tbh.

Well it was their Inbred Genetics program. Was hoping to move to Kentucky later and rake in the dough.

They're just not telling their bishop about it.

May be that's why they're high in that list, they spend more time studying.

I went to two schools in the top 20.

Meaning you're raking it in and should start one of them "JazzFanz Annual $1,000 Sweepstake"


You can even make it a marketing campaign to get more people in.

And now you are an administrator over a fan board.

Possibly the biggest burn of all burns ever.

Mine were 155 and 371, both around 5.5% without aid and over 7% with aid.

Wow, that's rough. Really rough.

College is worth it for some, not for others.

I think a large issue is kids that think they need to go to college, and then majoring in programs that they're doing because they are easy, or because they want to do what they love but don't realize there's no job market for it. I honestly don't feel bad for them.

If you majored in something like philosophy, don't want to teach, go to grad school, or write…then what the hell are you qualified to do?

Hell, one of my roommates got his degree in Exercise Science, which is essentially worthless if you don't go to grad school. So now he doesn't want to go to grad school, and he'll end up getting his personal trainer license, which you don't need a degree to get. That's a waste of a degree, IMO.

But he'll be a better trainer if he knows all the "Science" behind though. The degree's just the start, it's how you apply it at the end of the day.

Maybe. At the end of the day he spent over $100k to get a job that doesn't require a degree. Waste of money.

LOL.. what?! $100k for a degree? You've got to be ****ting me!!

4 years of private college is expensive man.

Glad I went the cheap in-state option. I pay like $6-7K a year.

I wonder where all the kids that are going through Chinese immersion schools in the US will end up. I'd probably go to Uni in China if I were them. Much cheaper, even for foreigners.
