Only Idiots think College Costs 100k

>25k/year
>4 year degree
>fuckhowdonumberswork.jpg

but it does cost 100k where I live

obviously this can be mitigated with scholarships but the raw cost of living on campus for a 4 year degree is around $100k

>>39530313
how the fuck do you spend 12k per semester?

>>39530356
mine is 18k a semester

>>39530356
12k a semester is the average for my state

>>39530313
>25k/yr
HOW?
You spend 10k/yr tops on school. I was in school for 6 years and I only racked up 40k.

>>39530398
tuition alone is $12k and that's at a state school. maybe it's less in backwater shitholes.

>>39530294
>Where do all these myths of college costing 100k come from?

Mila Kunis' engagement ring COST $300,000.

That doesn't mean it was worth $300,000. Nor does it mean that all engagement rings cost that much. Nor does it mean that normal people should buy it. But that's what it cost.

College is similar. It costs what it costs. That doesn't mean a poor person without rich parents should take out $100,000 worth of student loans to pay for an arts degree with no career prospects. But that's what some degrees cost.

In other words OP. It's not a myth. It's just poor and stupid people being conned by universities into spending a hell of a lot of money of things they can't afford and don't need.

For a second, I almost forgot I was in leafland. Disregard my previous message, I feel bad for you burgers.

Doesn't colleges like Yale and all cost more, plus dorms.

>>39530294
I paid like maybe 3k (books, tuition, parking passes) for community college and 14k (books and tuition) for university. No financial aid or reduced tuition.

17k for a BA in political science from a mediocre state school and I still fill ripped off.

>>39530640
When did you go to college?

>>39530398
If you double down on your load and take 64 credit hours in a year it can cost more.

>>39530398
Did you get 2 bachelor's in the 6 years?

>>39530294
From dummies who live on-campus. They fucking rape your wallet, man. Wise people go to a community college for two years and transfer their credits to a university after the fact.

22k, my guy. Could be worse, could be better.

>>39530294
My desired education came up to 225k. I reasoned that if I want to go to college so I can make enough to buy a house, why would I spend what it costs to buy a house? Why not just buy the damn house? It doesn't make any goddamn sense. I can work and get paid while doing it to save up, or spend that time going to school and getting in debt while doing it which I'll have to pay off before buying a house... Who seriously falls for this shit?

>>39531041
Including tax breaks or not including tax breaks?

>>39531069
More people need to get HVAC certs and the like instead of dumb artsy-fartsy degrees. We'll never be in dire need of high school English teachers, but bet your ass that there's a dozen people in your town that need their A/C or heating fixed on the daily.

>>39530294
god damn you guys just go to a bad school and get a free ride then you can stroke your ego all the time and not be poor

>>39531097
You don't get a free ride if your family makes too much money.

>>39531119
merit scholarships. learn to write some essays and just dont make bs in high school

>>39531135
alternatively get good at saxophone or something idk man

>>39531135
The merit scholarships usually go to the poor people.

Tax breaks paid for a lot more of my education than scholarships.

>>39531159
if youre that rich you dont need scholarships then

Were you counting tax breaks or scholarships off the total cost?

sure, if you don't spend much you can get it under 100k. I didnt get any scholarships and my parents make too much for financial aid

>live in canadia
>40k for a 4 year bachelors
>around 10k in tax return from tuition credits in following working years
>1k/semester free grant from the government to literally everybody
>government cuts my debt by 3k every year during school because I had a cash job and reported 0 income
>went to school for freeTM
>55k out of school as an insurance claims adjuster

life is alright, pretty comfy up here

>>39531296
TOTAL cost minus living expenses (i lived at home before I transfered to university and Dad paid for my cheap studio while I was at university)

>>39530970
>implying my bachelor's degree in political science has helped me survive

It probably contributed to my depression senpai.

>>39531307
If your parents pay you can manipulate the tax code to get lots of money back by writing everything off, especially stuff that can't be proven either way. If you live at home and intern or work under the table you can also be claimed as a dependent in addition to that.

>>39530906
No I was a brainlet and had to repeat a bunch of 1st year courses + I padded out my last 2 years into 3 years.

>Were you counting tax breaks or scholarships off the total cost?

Just wanted to clarify this >>39531334
post

No. I didn't get any tax breaks or scholarships (although I feel like I should've gotten some scholarship money - I graduated with honors and did well in high school and community college for the most part).

I paid for my community college while working part time, and my father paid my tuition and living expenses while I was at university (2 years).

I attended a public university and paid in-state tuition.

>Only pays 40k for a degree
>Ends up paying over 400k in taxes over the course of his career so his fellow idiot countrymen can major in liberal arts

>>39531474
Did the 17k count what you you paid only or what you and your dad paid together?

>>39531393
most college students are not well versed enough in gaming the system to know that such a possibility exists, nor how to do it

>>39531512
its not like we dont pay a fuckton of taxes in the US

>>39531571
Yeah but our taxes go to useful shit like fighter planes and Pablo's seven kids.

>>39531549
WHAT WE ALL PAID TOGHETHER

TOTAL COST NOT INCLUDING LIVING EXPENSES. LITERALLY EVERYTHING COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY RELATED.

There was a big fee hike after I graduated. Like an additional 1k per quarter. My campus also had less fees than some other campuses because it was more of a commuter campus with nothing going on.

How can you not realize this? It's like some people only think half thoughts. Where do you think the money comes from dumbass? Do you think you won't pay into that system?

Why would ameridumbs pay so much for school lmao

I went to a cheap state school, so I'll be able to pay off all my student loans on my first paycheck, but some people go for the wrong degree at the wrong school and fuck themselves over.

This. College being expensive is a meme go to your state school get financial aid and find scholarships.

>>39530398

You fucking leafs have no clue what it's like across the border. Before acting all flabbergasted when someone posts a typical US university tuition, just google it for yourself.
