"not only do they have more debt, but they spent a lot of time wasted"

um, yeah, its college

^seriously, even at Princeton you'll get that result.

^Pretty sure the Princeton degree can get you a job interview for a couple nice positions.

Not the Onion...Not the Art Institute...WTF???

$35,000 for a year and a half and an AA degree? If these kids can't figure out that's a bad deal then they have bigger problems.

There are no free rides. This coming from someone who just spent the last 3 1/2 years getting my AA. (I work full time; I'm not mentally impaired.


Well, ok. Maybe a little.)

Why the hell does ANY school charge that much?

Luckily, here in Canad my Degree is subsidized - Yay Socialism!

I'm paying around $2500 (plus books) a semester, and in the end I get a fully fledged Political Science Degree, with a minor in Law! All for about $20,000.

thats actually alot compared to some european countries where university is completely free, paid for through huge taxes..

College is about learning. I believe they learned something after this. Money well spent.

Like the video said, these are mostly people from families that never attended colleges themselves. They're trying to break out of their blue collar background with some hard-earned money and they get swindled out of it. I don't see any reason to blame the victims here.

hehe course us N8tives up north don't have to worry about tuition either.

"What many say they got, is a worthless piece of paper and crippling debt."

Congrats... you wanted a degree and it sounds like you got one.

I pay about 120 euro a semester here in germany. Thats maybe 200 dollar.
They wanted us to pay an additional 500 euro a semester but some people sued against that and won.

mine is about 5000-6000 a year. nt including another 5000 thou for res..and a couple hun for books. but osap and grants cover that yay!

And the tax rates in Belgium are 45 - 55% where 1 in 2 people work for the government. What's Belgium's national past-time you ask? Tax evasion.

Here in the Netherlands you pay 1500 euros a year for any higher or university level education. Every student can get up to 400 euros a month, depending on the income of their parents (and borrow up to 700 at very fair interest and terms) for 5 years. This is converted into a loan if you don't complete a study within 10 years. Also all students get free public transportation during either the weekends or workweek depending on their choice.
I think it's quite a good system that gives fairly equal opportunities to all people who want to study.

You've gotta be weary of a school that has salesmen that are trying to sell you on going there. A quality institution usually has a staff of people dedicated to turning people away.

That actually sounds like a really great system. Now I wish I was a Netherlanderthal.

4 yrs undergrad - 2 yrs medical school ... US$76K in debt ... but that's about 5 mos wages... so I guess it was a good investment... well 5 mos before taxes at least!
