[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College itself is not a scam.  College with 70K+/year is a scam.

I would rather send my kid to UVA instead of CMU so that I can save 150K+ in four years and use that money for him/her to work on improving the golf game and other music activities.  As they said, most businesses get done on the business course.[/quote]

It all depends. For some UVA is a scam. If you are outgoing, frat house, drinking, partying type, UVA is a good place. But if you are an introvert nerd type, CMU is a better fit and provides more support for career counseling and academic help. [/quote]+1 for comp sci, pick Cmu;  You'll earn back the $150K in two years or less.  UVa isn't Julliard??[/quote]

This is complete B.S.  A CS CMU grad will not make 70K more than a CS UVA grad.  There are always exceptions but 99.9999% of CS CMU grads will make the same salary as CS UVA grad.  Not everyone who graduated from CMU becomes Marc Ewing.  My oldest graduated in CS from CMU in 2018, and his younger brother graduated from UVA in 2019 also in CS.  The older brother has 110k salary while the younger brother has a 105k salary.

Please do not post surveys here.  They are pretty much fake and unreliable.[/quote]
