Grad school is much easier to get in.

[b]Only stupid people would pay a lot of money for grad school[/b][/quote]

smart people get free tuition and stipend for grad school (admittedly, still less $$ than market job)[/quote]

It’s not liveable anymore.[/quote]

This depends on the field and the person and how they use their degree.[/quote]

The stipend is not enough to live on. [/quote]

Yeah -- have you seen the grad student strikes across the country?[/quote]

Choose wisely when choosing grad programs..... if you choose a program in an expensive city then you will likely need loans. No strikes from my university.[b] Funding is adequate there and degree is very marketable - just on school name alone.[/b][/quote]

This doesn't make sense. Harvard PhDs have a hard time finding jobs if their PhD was in something useless like English. School name alone is nowhere near enough. [/quote]

But this is why subject matters.  A Harvard PhD in Econ or a hard science will likely do great. And neither will have paid for a Harvard degree other than the opportunity cost of income lost in their time there.[/quote]
