College education is worthless unless you intend to become a doctor, engineer, or architect. You don't even need to go to college to become a lawyer. All other majors are a waste of time/money and guaranteed to get you unemployed by the time you get out of school with a massive debt.

You're better off going to a community college for nursing or trade school than majoring in English/Art/Sociology/History/­Biology/Chemistry/Anthropology­/Computer Science/etc..

@timlin0607 that's not true getting your bachelor's degree in nursing gives you ALOT more money than an associate's degree from a community college.

Education is incrementally more expensive because of all the tax cuts we keep giving to the super rich on the promise that, eventually, they are going to start creating jobs.

There's a couple of factors...one of which schools have a lot of support staff on their payrolls now which they never has in the past. These people really dont contribute to your education but it makes the school look better. The other is the cost to upgrade and build new facilities to "compete" with other schools. Lastly public schools are getting more expensive as states cut funding so we can pay for our prison system that wrongly imprisons people for usong drugs.

College is expensive because the government(s) have their unproductive, vamperic hands all over it.

Simple. too many people are blindly going to college (higher demand/higher price) with the notion of elitism which is very interesting considering when money/income is the main reason to go to college. However, if the people that go to a place of research for at least 4 years would actually do research, they would find that many of the jobs that are usually deemed inferior make at least 10,000 more than the national avg (about 30,000) and also minus the debt.

I'm Class of 2000 fucking 12...

I'm a Columbia alumni. My tuition was $17,000 per semester. I graduated with MS degree. I've been unemployed for 2 years. Now I have a mountain of debt. I threw away my money and youth to study. Now I can't qualify for welfare, food stamps, unemployment. I'm fucked. BTW I'm loosing all my stuff, and i'm going to be homeless. Thank you and merry x-mas.
